Former territorial councilor Louis Mussington sent an open letter to prefect Anne Laubies, dated September 7, to draw his attention to the drop in the number of firefighters on guard in Saint-Martin. An unacceptable situation that endangers the life of the population, according to him.
Louis Mussington explains in this open letter that for several years these risks relating to the understaffing of firefighters have been denounced. "Some people want to know why by calling 18, we come across an agent installed in Guadeloupe and who misunderstood the sociolinguistic reality of Saint Martin", he underlines. “I raise the strongest protest against certain little arbitrary measures, which have been taken and which consist in considerably reducing the number of firefighters on guard and this in total contradiction with what is recommended by the Departmental Plan of the Risk and Coverage Analysis (SDARC) ”, he specifies, making it clear to the Prefect that this situation does not allow it to respond“ adequately to the requests for help from the population ”. “This is the game of Russian roulette, in total indifference. The health coverage of the island is not properly ensured, "continues the former territorial adviser, recalling that on August 29, a tragedy was avoided:" A request for help for house fire was made at 9:18 am, when qu 'there were only 4 agents on guard, knowing that there was a discharge fire to watch since the day before and that an agent must stay at the center to answer the 18 ”.
