UME: "The campaign should last longer"

Nearly 50,000 acres burned (about 60% of forest area burned in 2011) and a pilot died is the balance of the two most serious fires has been that community in decades. He started a summer ill experts predict dangerous in the Spanish mountains, heat and drought. Last month there were already very high temperatures, Madrid came to live day and night warmest June since 1920. And between October and June rain 35% below the average of the last 30 years, according to the Meteorological Agency. However, most authorities in the best case, has to fight the fire with the same means as in 2011, the year below average in terms of casualties and burned area.
Experts, environmentalists, unions and opposition claim that the cuts also reach the fire plans. Valencia, for example, has cut more than 110 million to 95 the number to fight forest fires and the total number of people working in it has decreased by 200, up to 11,500, among which the Government includes all municipal firefighters, police officers, mechanics, technicians and volunteers. Institutions responsible for defending fire plans, however, that these are maintained.
Between January and May there were 10 large fires, compared with three annual average
The hectares devastated by fire in Valencia thicken abruptly some negative statistics from earlier this year. Provisional data from the Ministry of Environment collected between January and May were destroyed about 50,000 hectares of forest. This makes 2012 the second year with the largest area burned in the decade, behind only 2002, and first in number of large fires, over 500 hectares. There were 10, with an average of three.
For the Xunta de Galicia, the number and virulence of the fires should not condition the fire extinguisher or break your planning. In the community in which burns more acreage of forest each year, the Galician government has delayed the launch of the complete operating. The administration also reduces the 6,056 employees in 363 last season and this year will be the "same days effective" work in the mountains at the expense of reducing days off. The brigade will work 66 days in three months and not 57. Downsizing occurs even though the budget has grown fire 1.4 million, to 105.4.
In communities such as Asturias, Cantabria and the Basque Country, the period of greatest risk is outside the summer months. But in Catalonia is talk of a winter atypical. As of May 31 had burned over 4,300 acres in 350 fires, triple that of 2011. The most serious incident occurred in May in Rasquera (Tarragona), destroyed 3,000 hectares. Its consequences were compounded by the refusal of volunteer firefighters to the rescue, hurt by the cuts. Nevertheless, the Department of Interior highlights the "effort" has. Given the high risk, heading for the forest campaign has risen to 24.14 million, up from 22.8 in 2011, but less than in previous years. "However, think to adjust the device to the actual risk may be unworkable. There are fires, by themselves, exceed our capacity to invest, "says Anna Martin, deputy director general operations of the Fire Department of the Generalitat.
Aragon maintains the same operating last year, but it advanced from June to April in its phase of maximum risk, the high level of danger that led to the drought. This has led to a budget increase by 1.8 million, up from 13.9. The annual increase is 17.4%, and of the few that elevates this game. A year has also raised the amount spent on prevention. This emphasis on prevention in the national shortage, according to experts consulted. In Andalusia, the budget plan forest fire (Infoca) account this year with more than 200,000 euros in 2011. There are 185.8 million, of whom 56% go to prevention efforts, starting down 6.5 million.
"Every case is different, but basically there was reduction in forest management," says Miguel Angel Duralde, president of the National Association of Forest. "Because of the crisis, communities have had to cut, not so much endangered as in prevention. Less money for cleaning, less pruning, less opening and maintenance of firewalls ... "adds Jesus Gonzalez, head coach of the College of Forest Engineering.
The Galician government has delayed this year the entire operating
Duralde suggests that a controlled logging would be beneficial in a country that says, has doubled forest stocks in recent years. Believes that we tend to less biomass accumulated energy that could be exploited. The idea is shared by Antonio Gomez, Secretary of forest policy of the Federation of Industry and Agricultural Workers of UGT: "There are forests that do not have to be so crowded." In Greenpeace are against reducing these games, but added that the problem is "more serious" because it is structural and not resolved in a year. "Now there are trees where there used to crops or livestock. In Spain, the forest area has increased very significantly and disorderly as a result of abandonment, "says Miguel Angel Soto, head of Biodiversity of the organization. "We have to very different handling," he adds.
Gomez, who speaks of "barbarians cuts in forestry", cites, among other cases, Castile-La Mancha. The president, Dolores Cospedal, announced its intention to make fixed-discontinuous contracts of employees of the Public Utility Environmental Management, which will not work four months a year.
In Castilla y Leon, the Department of Development and Environment argues that it is possible to give a figure for how much to invest in firefighting because they influence a variety of items. The Board said that "maintaining a sufficient and operating effectively." The Socialist Party denounced that there is a reduction of 46.5%, according to his calculations, from 12.9 to 6.9 million, a percentage that matches the UGT.
In these circumstances, cases like Tenerife or Álava are the exception. The Minister of Environment of the island, Ana Lupe Mora says that this exercise has a team of 320 people, 25 more, and two new vehicles, a pumper and a forward command post. "Risk level we always have, but maybe this year is greater, given the high stress of the vegetation in the winter so dry," he explains. In the Canaries, competencies correspond to the Councils, as in the Basque Country to the Provincial. Alava, despite having a low fire risk, will in 2013 fourth Regional Unit for Fire Fighting and Rescue, with 12 firefighters.

Bizkaia and Gipuzkoa say they have virtually the same means that last year, as Navarre, La Rioja, Asturias, Extremadura, Cantabria and the Balearic Islands. Murcia speaks of a plan that fits your "current needs". And in the Community of Madrid, the Executive notes that the device does not change but, according to unions, has not yet hired all temporary staff.
In addition to the regional media, the State approves an annual summer reinforcing action plan. This year includes measures of 11 ministries. From Environment notes that "despite budget adjustments," they maintain the 70 aircraft, 10 brigades of reinforcement or device 120 professionals for the coordination of the bases. Emergency Military Unit also maintains 3,000 the number of troops. The Director General of Civil Defense and Emergencies of the Ministry of the Interior, Juan Diaz Cross, which coordinates all government confirms that the state retains the means. For him, there is awareness that social influence: "Whatever the summer, the most important thing is that there are no oversights that can cause fires."
