Aftermath of the Fire - An Appreciation

We wanted to join the chorus of approval and gratitude to the emergency services for their highly organized and courageous response to the wild fires in and around Bedar last week. Most us looked on in horror at the devastation that was being caused to our community and watched with awe and wonder as the fire service, the helicopters and planes engaged in their struggle to overcome the forces of nature. We are fortunate to have these services so readily available to us in a time of such danger.

Neither do we want to ignore the efforts of the the Town Hall. We are hearing about the steps they are taking to assess the damage to individual properties and how they are giving advice on how to apply for financial assistence. We want to thank Ángel, our Mayor, who has involved himself in many ways during the fire and is now working with those affected to alleviate the situation. If you are affected and need help and haven´t contacted the Town Hall, then it is an option for you. Have a look at http://www.bedar.es/ and click on "Incendio"

As Bedar Independents, the opposition party in Bédar, we are often critical of the the Town Hall. But in this situation we want to give credit where credit is due. We will be attempting to monitor the situation as time passes.
