The municipality became involved in the fight against fires in 2020. “ Our master plan highlighted the need to create seventeen fire reserves in our territory,
explains Manuel Machado, mayor. In fact, the water pressure is not sufficient to supply the existing fire hydrants, according to the standards set by prefectural decree in Calvados. »
This is how a fire reserve was created in Pont-Érambourg. This is the fifth since 2020.
This village being common to Saint-Denis-de-Méré and Saint-Pierre-du-Regard, the municipalities decided to join forces. It was decided to create a reserve of 60 m³, rather than a reserve of 30 m3in order to guarantee service to a greater number of homes”,
explain mayors Manuel Machado and Michèle Guicheteau.
The cost of this work was €20,754 including tax. Saint-Denis-de-Méré and Saint-Pierre-du-Regard financed €4,323 each and the Calvados departmental council granted an APCR grant (aid for small rural communities) of €8,647.50.
