The modernization strategy, presented at the Agüimes Fairground, aims to adapt fire station resources to current intervention challenges. Key acquisitions include two urban fire trucks for Gáldar and Arucas, equipped with 3,000-liter water tanks and specialized rescue tools.
To minimize risks during critical operations, two remote-controlled firefighting robots have been integrated, specifically for industrial fires. Additionally, the service now features seven aquatic rescue drones designed for rapid victim location and the deployment of flotation devices along the coast.
The technical deployment is complemented by eight autonomous fans, specialized fire blankets for electric and hybrid vehicles, and four portable extinguishing kits for pick-up trucks. These tools allow for greater agility in hard-to-reach areas and initial fire outbreaks.
The total investment plan exceeds 4.2 million euros, covering equipment acquired in 2025, tenders scheduled for 2026, and ongoing staff training programs to ensure the efficient handling of the new systems.
