The Conselh Generau d'Aran plenary session approved on Tuesday the regulations for electing representatives of the Pompièrs d'Aran volunteer personnel, marking a new phase in local emergency management.

This legal step follows the transfer of powers regarding emergency services and fire prevention to the Aran Valley. The new rules define the electoral census, voting procedures, and the formal appointment of representatives for the volunteer collective.

"With this rule, we take another step in the regulation of the volunteer collective in the Pompièrs d'Aran after achieving the transfer of powers."

Future plans for the Pompièrs d'Aran include opening new volunteer positions and providing specialized training programs, as outlined in the Aran Law, depending on available regional funding.
