Volunteer firefighters and the Park

The Generalitat Volunteer Firefighters are people who, due to their social and charitable vocation, provide services in an altruistic way within the structure of any of the fire prevention and extinction and rescue services in Catalonia. The Generalitat volunteer firefighters depend of the organization and supervision of the Department of the Interior, under the superior command of the councilor, and have a hierarchical structure and organization.

The training, development and qualification of volunteer firefighters is the responsibility of the Institut de Seguretat Pública de Catalunya.

The members of the Generalitat's volunteer fire brigade are grouped in the following sections: Active Section: made up of volunteer firefighters who act at the scene of the accident and provide prevention and other non-urgent services. Special Section: made up of volunteer firefighters specialists in different technologies who, due to their knowledge and experience, can advise and / or participate directly in the services. Veteran Fire Department: formed by volunteer firefighters who, with the contribution of their experience and knowledge, have the mission to advise in all the own tasks of the firemen. Section of Honor: constituted by people, groups, groups or institutions, national or foreign, that have contributed of important way in services of prevention and extinction of fires and rescues of the Generalitat. Youth Section: formed by young people who, in the future, want to be volunteer firefighters. The body of volunteer firefighters of the Generalitat is structured in adsc groups rites in fire stations and is ordered, hierarchically, in the categories of officer, sergeant, corporal and firefighter. Although at present there are only firefighters and some corporals.

Each group of volunteer firefighters must have a group leader, a member of the Active Section of the volunteer fire brigade, which in the parks with the exclusive affiliation of volunteers, is also the Head of Park.

The Sant Antoni fire brigade is located in the municipality of Sant Antoni de Vilamajor, in Carrer Ferran Llach, in front of the sports pavilion in the sports area.

The Park is a newly built building and was inaugurated on 28/09/2010 by the Minister of the Interior of the Government of the Generalitat.

It has 2 floors and has an area of 375 m², distributed between garages, warehouse, dressing rooms, kitchen, bedroom, living room and control center.

The Park is equipped with materials, tools and vehicles, to cover the guards and provide assistance to services and emergencies that happen around us.

The Sant Antoni Fire Station can have a staff of 25 active firefighters and can also house veteran firefighters.

We have tools and vehicles for fire prevention and extinction and rescue. We provide the necessary training with the appropriate practices to be prepared in a rapid intervention of an accident, be it a traffic accident, floods, house fires, forest fires, etc.

The Park has three vehicles to act according to the needs of the service. There are two heavy vehicles, 1 Heavy Rural Pump (BRP) for urban and rural accidents both in firefighting and rescues and rescues in traffic accidents, 1 Heavy Forest Pump (BFP) for forest fire extinguishing and a light vehicle for personnel and load (UPC) for personnel relays in accidents and for the Park's own logistics.

The upper floor of the Park is where the housing area and theoretical training room are. There is also the Control Room, where the issue of communications of the Park with Central Control and other vehicles and firefighters is.

The lower floor houses the changing rooms, showers, warehouse and garage, where we leave the three vehicles and the lockers with the PPE's (Personal Protective Equipment). We use the garage to do certain practices and / or training. It has a capacity for 3 heavy vehicles, but the endowment of a Park of Volunteer Firemen is of 2 trucks and 1 light vehicle with independent exit each of them.
