Firefighters at the Mar Menor South fire station in Los Alcázares have warned that the poor condition of their base is putting public safety at risk. Staff have described the facilities as undignified and unacceptable for a service tasked with saving lives.

They point to an ageing building with serious structural problems, widespread damp and a lack of basic maintenance. Firefighters also say they are expected to work with obsolete equipment, old vehicles and an insufficient number of staff to cover the area safely.

According to workers, the situation directly affects their ability to respond quickly and effectively to emergencies. They argue that operating from a building in such an advanced state of deterioration undermines morale and efficiency.

In a sign of growing frustration, firefighters have warned they may begin camping in tents outside the station to draw attention to the problem. They are calling on the relevant authorities to carry out urgent improvements to the building and invest in resources to guarantee a safe and reliable emergency service for the local community.
