Statute overview

About this statute

El acceso a la escala de apoyo del Cuerpo de Bomberos de la Generalitat se hace por concurso-oposición en convocatoria libre, con un curso selectivo y un periodo de prácticas obligatorios. Certain firefighters are treated as authority agents when they are on duty, and they are also treated as on duty if they are off duty but intervene in an incident and prove their status. The Generalidad’s fire brigade is structured hierarchically and carries out fire prevention, firefighting, and rescue functions. The Generality’s fire brigade acts in Catalonia and may also act outside Catalonia in exceptional or emergency cases when the service requires it and the competent authority requests it. This article lists the functions of the Department of Governance, through the regional fire service.
