The precarious life of Ávila's firefighters: someone forgot to contract the electricity in the new station

Firefighters in Ávila are unable to use their new station despite it being fully equipped and ready for use. The station, which cost 420,000 euros, lacks basic services such as electricity and water due to unpaid contracts by the Junta de Castilla y León. The firefighters are forced to rely on facilities in El Tiemblo, causing them to lose time. The situation has been ongoing for a year, leaving the firefighters feeling neglected and poorly managed.
