The process that will provide Cosenza with a new, modern and efficient headquarters for the Provincial Fire Brigade Command has officially begun. This morning, in viale Magna Graecia – in the area of the citadel of the stadiums and the school field – the ceremony of laying the foundation stone of the new complex took place, in the presence of the undersecretaries of the Interior Emanuele Prisco and Wanda Ferro, the prefect Rosa Maria Padovano, the mayor Franz Caruso and the provincial leaders of the police forces.
The new barracks will be built on a total area of 6 thousand square meters spread over three floors. The ground floor will be entirely dedicated to the garage, designed according to modern standards, while the upper floors will host meeting rooms, offices and large spaces dedicated to staff training.
The ceremony was opened by the Provincial Commander of Cosenza, engineer Roberto Fasano.
The undersecretaries expressed profound gratitude towards the Command staff also for their extraordinary commitment in the recent storms of last February, for which the Command was awarded a commendation delivered today by the Head of the Corps. On the occasion, the signature of the decree establishing the permanent detachment of Trebisacce by Minister Piantedosi and the strengthening of 33 operators serving the district which includes 17 Municipalities was also communicated.
