The San Bartolomé de Tirajana fire department strengthens its staff with 11 new members and the promotion of 7 corporals.

 

The Fire and Rescue Service (SEIS) of the San Bartolomé de Tirajana City Council held today the swearing-in ceremony of 11 new firefighters as trainee civil servants, as well as the internal promotion of 7 officers to the rank of corporal, a milestone that represents a decisive step forward in strengthening the municipal service.

 

With these additions and promotions, the Fire Service goes from having 22 to 33 personnel, which represents a very significant increase in its operational capacity and response to emergencies, reinforcing the safety and protection of citizens throughout the municipality.

 

Strengthening the workforce and improving the service

 

The addition of 11 new firefighters allows for decisive progress in the City Council's strategic objective of strengthening the SEIS, improving service coverage, response times and the capacity to intervene in fires, rescues, urban and forest emergencies.

 

This reinforcement of personnel constitutes one of the most relevant advances in recent years in terms of human resources of the municipal Fire Service, aligned with the commitment to modernization and reinforcement of essential services.

 

Boost to internal promotion and operational structure

 

The promotion of 7 firefighters to the rank of corporal reflects the City Council's clear commitment to career development within the SEIS, recognizing the experience, training and leadership skills of the service's personnel.

 

This internal promotion process allows for the consolidation of a more solid, efficient, and hierarchical operational structure, strengthening middle management and improving coordination and effectiveness in emergency management.

 

 

 

 

Progress in equality and female representation

 

Among the 11 new members are 3 women, who are joining the municipal Fire Service, marking a milestone in the evolution of the corps.

 

Currently, the San Bartolomé de Tirajana Fire and Rescue Service (SEIS) has 3 women out of a total of 33 personnel, representing approximately 9% female representation. This percentage places the SEIS at the forefront of the Canary Islands Autonomous Community in terms of female representation, especially considering that, until this selection process, there were no women in the service.

 

Its incorporation represents a significant step forward in terms of equality, diversity and representation, consolidating SEIS as a modern, open service aligned with the values ​​of equal opportunities in the field of public service.

 

 

 

Institutional statements

 

Following the conclusion of the swearing-in ceremony, the mayor of San Bartolomé de Tirajana, Marco Aurelio Pérez, congratulated the new officers and the promoted corporals, emphasizing the importance of excellence in public service and conveying to the new members of the SEIS the mandate to fully dedicate themselves to this vocation of service, as a fundamental pillar of the work they perform in service to the citizens.

 

For her part, the Councillor for Human Resources, Elena Álamo, expressed her satisfaction at seeing that two highly complex selection processes had been successfully completed, highlighting the technical and administrative effort made to reinforce an essential service such as the Fire Department.

 

The Councillor for Citizen Security welcomed the new corporals and firefighters, noting that this important step reflects the priority that the current governing group gives to security and the strengthening of emergency services, as a guarantee of protection and well-being for the residents of the municipality.

 

Institutional commitment to citizen security

 

The Fire Service Headquarters has emphasized that this process of expanding and promoting personnel reflects the firm commitment of the San Bartolomé de Tirajana City Council to public safety, the continuous improvement of emergency services, and effective service to the public.

 

The strengthening of the SEIS is part of a global strategy aimed at providing the municipality with better prepared, more professional and appropriately sized public services, in accordance with the real needs of a large territory with a high resident and floating population.
