The president of the Agglo Nîmes Métropole Franck Proust mentioned the possible acquisition by the Sdis du Gard of land in Saint-Césaire.
At the opening of the community council on Wednesday June 26, the president of Nîmes Métropole Franck Proust mentioned the project of a common platform between the Codis (firefighters) and the Samu (the 15th) whose establishment in Saint-Césaire seems to be in good shape. way. A device which receives emergency calls from 18, 112 (350,000 per year) before directing them to the Samu, the police, the gendarmerie, and even, in certain departments, general practitioners.
The structure thus works with center 15 of the Samu which justifies the intervention of the firefighters and decides the direction of the patients. “The reds and whites finally came to an agreement and the management of Codis explained to us the importance of having such a centre in the immediate vicinity of the CHU”recalled Franck Proust.
A fruitful lunch
About ten days ago, a lunch provided an opportunity to take stock between representatives of the Departmental Fire and Rescue Service of Gard and the Agglomeration. On the menu: the acquisition of land belonging to Nîmes Métropole by the Department of Gard located in Saint-Césaire, near the emergency center and the Carémeau University Hospital.
Franck Proust, contacted by Sdis, looks favorably on this project: “The land in question is the subject of a temporary occupation authorization granted on behalf of the Agglo by the Occitanie Public Land Establishment. Our institution can only listen with kindness this week but must wait for the completed development studies for Porte Ouest (near the Zac Marché station) to definitively confirm the operation.”
Sdis training center
The president also sees a great opportunity to transfer the Sdis training center, located on Avenue Kennedy, to the rapidly developing airport platform, “to make it a real campus of training establishments, particularly aeronautics and linked to civil security and risk and crisis management”. Questioned on this subject, the president of Sdis du Gard Alexandre Pissas appreciates the favorable position of Nîmes Métropole.
“The president of the Gard Departmental Council Françoise Laurent-Perrigot indicated that the community was ready to pay for this acquisition and to finance part of the construction of the building of this unique call center. Two plots of land are targeted near the center relief from Saint-Césaire The Region is requested and I was able to meet Claire Lapeyronie, director of the Occitanie land establishment Franck Proust was hesitant about the transfer because of the Zan (Net artificialization zone) but these comments to the council. community reassures meindicates Alexandre Pissas.
The latter remembers his mission entrusted in 2015 by the Minister of the Interior Bernard Cazeneuve. This allowed him to visit several unique call centers in Ardèche, Var and especially Haute-Savoie: “This last center impressed me. Then, on October 6, 2017, President Macron received the prefects and the presidents of Sdis. He gave the main axes: volunteering to be developed and the establishment of a platform with police, gendarmerie. […] The Codis CTA can no longer be where it is.” The file could thus experience an acceleration.
