Overview
- Municipal firefighters operated with only four personnel for a 24‑hour period, leaving the station limited to minor calls and effectively unable to tackle full fires.
- An afternoon blaze sparked by a candle on a sofa in Carreira do Conde prompted 112 to deploy the GES from Brión, with National and Local Police also responding before the incident was contained.
- Firefighters and Local Police have stopped taking overtime they say is unpaid for roughly a year, seeking formal compensation for night and holiday work.
- City staffing rosters indicate further under‑minimum shifts, including Nov. 10 and dates around Nov. 16, unless a deal restores additional hours.
- Across Pontevedra province, workers report repeated closures when crews hit the 80‑hour overtime cap, warning of longer response times and publicly disputing local political messaging about the causes.
