Episode Transcript

(00:00):
My name is Yarco Calderón Reategui.I am captain and head of company of
Salvadora Trujillo number twenty- six,which belongs to the third Departmental Command of
Freedom. Yes, we are inTrujillo with the captain of one of the
most important fire companies in the areaand believe me I am not exaggerating why

(00:22):
there is a voracious fire for theunits of the fire company Salvadora to Trujillo
number twenty- six and the future. We have here approximately in this company
registered about three hundred eighty- fiveto four hundred firefighters who rotate every week
between fifteen eighteen and rotate like eightyfirefighters weekly volunteers who risk their lives for

(00:46):
the rest, for their community.But, like all volunteering, you always
need more hands. That' swhy quabi puts her grain of sand and
collaborates with them. In my case, I am an electronic engineer and I
have my job that allows me tosupport my family, but the service here
at the fire company is completely voluntary, honorary and the only thing we always

(01:07):
ask of all institutions is that atleast we have basic equipment that is necessary
to do our work with dignity.Captain Calderón is clear to be alert to
any emergency at 24 hours in thethree hundred and sixty- five days of
the year. It is a jobthat has to be done with dignity and

(01:27):
with a proper work team. Oneof the things is that we are well
prepared for that part of risking lifeto be small. Don' t have
that much impact, because we havea motto here in the fire department that
says first, you, second,everything and third you. You' re
okay, you' re gonna beable to help your neighbor, you'

(01:49):
re gonna be able to help yourfriends, your family. That' s
why Wabi added to your efforts anddonated a series of personal fire protection equipment,
including some 200 overalls or melucos clothesthat firefighters wear all day long.
This is more gas, more life, a podcast where we tell the stories

(02:10):
about the positive impact of natural gasto transform the lives of more than a
million Peruvians in the north of thecountry. One day Captain Yarco Calderón'
s bomb looks like this I'm usually between eight and a half and
nine in the morning until about twelveand a half one in the afternoon.

(02:32):
Then I return at three o'clock in the afternoon or sometimes already at
five o' clock in the afternoonand stay until ten eleven o' clock
in the evening to be able toattend all the services required by the company,
especially in the administrative part. Asheads of company, we have to
run the company and have everything walkwell. Let' s say Yarco is

(02:53):
that in managing his fire department andfor that and for his experience, he
is fully aware of how important itis for firefighters to have a good mameluco.
As I was saying, the specialteam takes care of the fireman is
careful but the use is intense.Three, four months is already a little
faded all of a sudden because itwashes. Then a fireman should have at

(03:16):
least three field mamelucos, three overalls, three bumelucos a year. At least.
We put the structural equipment on topand the equipment stays inside, sweats,
receives an ill- treatment that mustbe washed immediately. So the team,
as it is one, we're just washing it a lot of
times and you know that the washingsabuse the material uses you every day,

(03:38):
all day, and that' swhy donations like Quai' s are vital.
The implements that you have given us, which were actually given to the
departmental command and distributed to the differentfire companies. In the case of us
we have reached about fifteen units thathave been distributed to the most operational firefighters
or those that are closest to themanagement and the fire company of savior Trujillo

(04:00):
number twenty- five is always wellrequired. It has the city of Trujillo
and are affected by a fire ofproportions and there are the images during as
it is in a central place andall its units are operational. It is
responsible for protecting about half a millionpeople, because we not only serve Trujido

(04:20):
metropolitana, but also for the characteristicof the specialization of our firefighters. It
' s from when there are accidentsor there are incidents or emergencies outside the
jurisdiction, we also have to attend. Then we talk about a slightly wider
jurisdiction of the Trujillos district, butwe could also talk about the province of
Trujillo and Coabi is always ready tohelp make the places where it is present

(04:44):
improve its quality of life. Onthe one hand, that carrying natural gas
does, but supporting firefighters, ofcourse, is key and not the only
thing. In the two thousand twenty- three, a talk was organized to
disseminate security messages, a joint workwith the fire company Salvador A Chiclayo number
twenty- seven volunteers. The ideawas to share service security measures and emergency

(05:09):
prevention and care measures with the generalpublic. In this way, Quabiy contributes
to the care of the physical integrityof firefighters by providing them with high quality
equipment that allows them to face withgreater security the risks inherent in their daily
work. Our main objective is toserve the Community by being ready for emergencies,
