The Piacenza Reclamation Consortium and the Piacenza Fire Brigade Provincial Command carried out an exercise at the Mignano dam, in the municipality of Vernasca on the morning of 20 April: the training also involved expert alpine river speleo personnel from the the entire Emilia Romagna region.
The Consorzio di Bonifica di Piacenza actually “lent” the reservoir to the fire brigade to simulate some recovery and emergency interventions. Three rescue simulations carried out by the firefighters, in height on a construction crane, in depth with the recovery of a person in a well with the use of a tripod, finally the recovery of a dangerous person who fell into a cliff with Saf and even the aid of a stretcher.
