“Before getting to the crisis situation, we must already prevent”explained the firefighter. “Prevention today is a failure among our fellow citizens because we are not educated in behaviors that save and protect”. Éric Brocardi believes that this ministry “would make it possible to have simple and pragmatic information emanating from a single channel.”
“We have to lay this brick”, he adds. “It is a solution as the armed wing of the executive to be able to manage this kind of situation and regroup all the forces”.
While thunderstorms will hit France this week, Éric Brocardi believes that “Now is the time to prepare your house for the bad weather and the Cevennes episodes” and that risk prevention is essential.
The firefighter also announces that “from the start of the school year”a national campaign will be launched because “our activity is perhaps no longer attractive as it is for four-year-old children who dream of being a firefighter”.
