Critical equipment for Silves Bombeiros |
COMMANDANT ANTÓNIO Nunes again
welcomed Ludwig Schaefer, chief of the fire brigade in Malgerdorf,
Germany, who has become a loyal friend of the Silves Bombeiros.
Having made previous deliveries of equipment, this time
Ludwig had organised for the delivery of fireproof wellington boots,
protective clothing and special water supply equipment.
Regular readers of The Resident may
remember that the bombeiros were also in urgent need of a dinghy.
Hearing of their plight, Wolfgang Felzen, a wholesale importer of
equipment from China, came to their assistance. At cost price, he has
supplied not only a new, much needed dinghy but also a powerful 40hp
motor. Wolfgang is also assisting them with the acquisition of a
mobile diesel generator. A generous 25 per cent discount from BG
Equipamento Náutico, Lda has meant that the bombeiros have
also been able to purchase a trailer.
Commandant Nunes was
delighted and, once again, thanked all those who have helped support
the Bombeiros. If you can help, visit www.bombeiros-algarve.com
