Chief of National Defense of Ñuble orders owners of riverine properties to give “access facilities” to water sources to fight fires

The head of National Defense of the Ñuble Region, Brigadier General Jorge Salinas Schlack, issued an exempt resolution on Tuesday ordering the owners of riverine properties to provide “access facilities” to water sources to combat forest fires affecting the center-south of the country.
“The use of surface waters in the region, whether it is sea, rivers, lakes, lagoons, dams or others, is arranged to be used in the work of extinguishing the fires that currently affect the Ñuble Region,” says the document signed by the general.

“Consequently, the owners of the riverside properties to the aforementioned water sources must grant the facilities of access to them, without delaying the work of the brigade members or means that require it, whether they are transported by land or air, or in the case of public or private officials, who are employed in the fight against fires.” Add the text.
Recall that the Spanish pilot Felipe Bru accused yesterday that private were denying that brigades occupied water from their pools.
“There are houses still at risk with active foci and we are taking water in nearby places and at this moment there are people, owners of those rafts that are signaling us, they are putting lines so that we do not take water from there,” he told T13.
