The emergency helicopter will stay in Manises
El delegado del Gobierno en la Comunitat Valenciana, Juan Carlos Fulgencio, se ha puesto en contacto con el alcalde de Dénia, Vicent Grimalt, para confirmarle que, finalmente, no se modificarán las condiciones actuales del servicio del helicóptero de Salvamento Marítimo con sede a la ciudad de Manises, y que da cobertura, entre otras zonas, al litoral de Dénia y la Marina Alta.
The Ministry of Development will not modify the type of service. The planned change meant an increase in the response time from 15 to 45 minutes and the announcement of these forecasts led to the mobilization of fishermen's associations and other groups affected by the measure.
A motion was approved from the City Council of Dénia requesting that the service not be modified and meetings have been held with the agents involved to coordinate a joint defense response to the current operation.
