Firefighters on a mission to the Philippines

TWO firefighters and a volunteer from Alicante have travelled to the Philippines to help the relief effort following the typhoon disaster. All three men belong to the Active Ecology Group volunteers, an NGO disaster relief and emergency charity which has also helped and contributed to the earthquakes and natural disasters in Haiti and Lorca.

The team travelled to the Philippines to bring a water treatment plant which can purify 40,000 litres of water a day. They also instructed three local operators allowing them to continue the supervision and operation of the treatment plant.
