His bitterness for what he stated in the Plenary Session of the Parliament Christos Triandopoulos – who attributed to the Fire Department the responsibility for the messing up of the site of the Tempo tragedy – expressed to documentonews.gr the Evangelos FalarasCoordinator of the Fire Services of Thessaly and Central Greece, denying that the Fire Department had any involvement in the cementing, while clarifying that the unspecified burns of the firefighters were not caused by the cooling liquids present in the trains.
After we informed Mr. Falara of the words of the Deputy Minister of Civil Protection in the Plenary of the Parliament, he described how the necessity of the extrication operation led him to request the assistance of cranes due to the volume and weight of the wagons and sheets.
“I asked for the cranes to come to lift the weights and as part of this action, the cranes – for reasons of field stability – asked for stable objects, cobblestones and mosaics, to come in, in order to step on solid ground, because it shifted as they lifted the wagons” Mr. Falaras initially mentioned and added:
“The process continued until the passenger carriages that had the sheets were also lifted. When the last sheets were lifted and we checked that there was no more dead in the field, we continued to stay at the scene until we left on Friday.”
“So, you as the coordinator of the Fire Department and a member of the Coordinating Body for Civil Protection (SOPP) did not participate in the subsequent excavation and planting of the field?” we asked Mr. Falara, who answered:
“No. I did not ask for exhumation, I asked SOPP to bring me the equipment to give me the opportunity to check and identify dead and alive. For the subsequent interventions, on the Friday I left we had even checked if there was anything under the sheets, which were very close to the tunnel. That is, it was the last point and the wagons that were not involved in the collision had also “gone”.
“I’m bitter if he says I didn’t do my job well”
At that point the Coordinator of Fire Services of Thessaly and Central Greece did not hide his bitterness for the words of the Deputy Minister. “It makes me bitter if it’s a reproach against me that I didn’t do my job well”, was the initial response to the words of Mr. Triandopoulos, adding that all the firefighters did their job in the best way from the first moment and as fast as possible.
“If it was battery fluid, the fabric would also burn”
Regarding the suspicious burns suffered by firefighters who tried in Tempe, Mr. Falaras clarified that it was not a result related to the battery fluids.
“I was next to the colleagues (who got the burns) and I had some irritations and I thought it was after contact with some object. When my colleagues told me they had burns and we went through the process of taking them to Thriasio, then I realized that what I too thought was something caused by the friction, was something I can’t identify and would like to know in order to protect colleagues” he pointed out and concluded by saying:
“If it was battery fluid, the fabric would also burn. I don’t know what it is that doesn’t affect the fabric and affects the skin. This requires special knowledge for me to answer. Even the doctors we asked couldn’t answer that. I am not a doctor, nor a chemist.”
