The Civil Protection, Prevention, Fire Extinction and Rescue Service (SPCPEIS) has had a well-defined identity since its formation in the mid 19th century, aiming to help the general public and with a commitment to the profession and teamwork. The traditional image of firemen putting out fires has progressively evolved to one where professionals take part in rescues, relief work situations, technological incidents and chemical leaks. Professionals who make sure that sufficient attention is paid to risks when events are planned and in increasingly complex vulnerability scenarios.
