Following the refusal of Granada's firefighters to work voluntary overtime during the Corpus Christi festival as a protest, a meeting has taken place leading to an agreement to proceed with technical studies.

The Councilor for Mobility and Citizen Protection, Ana Agudo, explained that the plan is to introduce remuneration for out-of-town calls into the 2027 personnel budget, on a periodic basis.

The Firefighters Corps had previously lamented the lack of personnel and that the municipal corporation had become accustomed to sustaining the city and province's safety by "abusing the goodwill" of workers, without coherently valuing the service provided to the 51 surrounding municipalities.

Agudo also conveyed the City Council's willingness to pay for extraordinary services and positively assessed the understanding achieved during the talks.

The government team reaffirmed its commitment to loyal and responsible negotiation to ensure the continuity of this essential service for the safety of Granada's citizens.
