Tivat: Firefighters will operate from Opatovo

This was said during the first meeting of the Municipal Protection and Rescue Team this year, chaired by the mayor of the municipality. Željko Komnenović.

The protection and rescue service will operate from the base in Opatovo, but also from two additional points in Porto Montenegro and Radovići, with the expected support of Tivat's volunteer fire brigades. According to data provided by the Directorate for Emergency Situations of the Ministry of the Interior, in the event of larger fires, the deployment of three firefighting aircraft and one helicopter can be expected, while the Army of Montenegro can provide the deployment of three helicopters for operations and two for reconnaissance.

During the meeting, the current situation with the water supply was discussed, which is in order, but due to the works on the pipeline on the Jaz-Tivat boulevard route, it is currently being maintained thanks to the local water sources Plavda and Topliš, and water supplies from available reservoirs. The Director of the Tivat Water Supply and Sewerage Company, Alen Krivokapić, reminded that Tivat is predominantly supplied with water from the Regional Water Supply Company (67%) and that he hopes that the works on the pipeline will be completed within the given deadlines.

Commander of the Protection and Rescue Service Milorad Giljaca He emphasized the importance of maintaining fire roads in the hinterland, which are crucial for responding to fires, and the challenge of the lack of stable water sources in certain locations during the summer period.
