The official note reads: “The Fire Brigade Department, in agreement with the competent Civil Protection Department, has activated the necessary procedures for the supply of four fire-fighting vehicles owned by the National Fire Brigade Corps to the Moldovan Ministry of the Interior, within the framework of the European Civil Protection Mechanism.
The vehicles, a tanker truck and three pump trucks, came from the Fire Brigade Commands of Turin, Alessandria, La Spezia and Monza.
The entire management of the expedition was coordinated and supervised by Fire Brigade personnel.
On 9 April, in Trieste, the Undersecretary of the Interior, Mr. Sibilia, presented the important operation accompanied by the Deputy Head of the Fire Department, Prefect Guercio, and the Director of the Emergency, Mr. Ghimenti.
The Prefect of Trieste and the Commander of the Fire Brigade were also present.
“This is an operation of solidarity and generosity on the part of the CNVVF,” explained Sibilia, “on the part of these wonderful people who are behind me and who will be driving about 1,500 km from Trieste to Chisinau the vehicles that will be able to give support to the civilian population of Moldova and Ukraine.
These are the first four vehicles of 50,” added the Undersecretary, “that we are providing to these populations in cooperation with the Union Mechanism and the Italian Civil Protection.
We are doing all this to give material support to the people in difficulty in those territories today.”
The donated fire-fighting equipment will be transported by a special convoy of the National Corps, escorted by a car with two firefighters from the TAST module on board, which will leave Trieste on 10 April for Chisinau.
