Pascal Lewicki, president of CASDIS, was present this Wednesday, October 30, at the Gourdon fire and rescue center (CIS) to officially hand over the keys to a brand new vehicle to Lieutenant Pascal Males, head of the CIS.
The first Pump-Tonne Light Road Rescue Van (FPTLSR) in the history of the Lot Departmental Fire and Rescue Service (SDIS) is now in service.

This vehicle is intended to replace the FPTL (Light Pump-Tonne Van) and the VSR (Road Rescue Vehicle) in the CIS where it is assigned. The cost of the vehicle is 300,000 euros (190,000 euros for chassis and 110,000 euros for equipment) On the technical side, it is a Renault D12 P4x2 Fire & Rescue 240 E6 whose equipment was carried out by the Gimaex company. It is armed with 4 personnel in road rescue mode and 6 in fire mode.
This event was held in the presence of Jean-Marie Courtin, president of the Quercy Bouriane community of communes and mayor of Gourdon, senior colonel Jean-François Galtié, lieutenant-colonel Jérôme Ferrage, head of the technical and logistics group as well as as many CIS staff who attended a detailed presentation of this new machine and the various accessories that make it up.
