The Extraordinary General Assembly of the Provincial Consortium of Valencia Firefighters has approved a new management contract with the Valencian Agency for Security and Emergency Response (AVSRE) to strengthen the coordination of the Generalitat's forest resources in the province.

The agreement, with a budget of 2.16 million euros, includes an increase from 14 to 26 staff members dedicated to the coordination, management, and support functions of the regional forest service. This expansion aims to align the organization with the operational needs of the Generalitat and reinforce the coordination structure of forest units.
Planned actions include enhancing coordination during nighttime hours and year-round service coverage. The objective is to facilitate the management of available resources and improve response to forest emergencies.
Under this contract, the Consortium assumes the coordination and operational management functions of the forest resources attributed to it by the Generalitat, within the framework of collaboration established between the two administrations. The expansion of human resources is aimed at facilitating coordination between the Generalitat's forest units and the Consortium's fire services, as well as planning operations and organizing interventions.
The approved economic allocation increases from 1.34 to 2.16 million euros, representing an increase of 820,000 euros to finance the necessary resources for the development of the functions outlined in the contract.
