Central Yungay, operated by International Power Services, provided a drone under the agreement signed with the 4th Charrúa Fire Company to carry out the Equipment and Safety Project. The volunteer firefighters of the Charrúa Fire Department are now receiving training to operate the drone, which will allow them to conduct rescue operations with greater precision.
This Equipment and Safety Project with the 4th Charrúa Fire Company is a commitment to life, the safety of our neighbors, and the spirit of service that characterizes every volunteer who proudly wears the 4th Company's uniform. By providing a drone, we are contributing to a safety initiative that will support the community in any emergency.
We know that every second counts when someone is in an emergency situation. We also know that willingness alone is not enough: preparation, technical skills, coordination and, above all, a heart ready to act even in the most challenging conditions are essential. That is why this project seeks to strengthen equipment and safety capabilities, providing tools that will help firefighters not only arrive on time, but also respond with the confidence and skills needed to make a difference.
Through this project, they will reaffirm the value of their role as volunteer firefighters—quiet guardians of the community who are willing to give everything, even what is most precious, for those who need them.
