“Nothing can be achieved without the women and men of the firefighting corps who offer their service for the good and safety of us all 365 days a year. Today is a touching moment as we decided on names for two of these vessels’ crew members who fell in the line of duty. The least we can do for these people is to never forget their memory”, emphasized the Prime Minister.
