20 paramedic and rescue motorcycle ambulances are added to the Fire Department.
A fleet of 63 vans that will be used for patrolling the main commercial corridors of Guayaquil joined the city this Wednesday, as a municipal contribution that aims to combat the criminal acts that are committed in the city of Buenos Aires.
“On board will go the personnel that the Government of Guayas has so that the police and military can go to protect the citizen from common crime,” said Mayor Cynthia Viteri.

The Municipality invested some $2.8 million in the purchase of the vehicles. Within this budget, there is the acquisition of 20 motorcycle ambulances, which will be in charge of the Fire Department, distributed among 16 paramedic motorcycles and 4 rescue motorcycles equipped with tools to remove people trapped in damaged vehicles.
Motorcycle drivers will have at their disposal backpacks with medical, rescue and personal protection equipment such as automatic external defibrillator, stethoscope, digital thermometer, glucometer, pocket knife, helmet, among others.
Military to the streets from now on in Guayaquil; and vice minister will base himself in this city in the face of a crime wave in Ecuador, announces President Lasso
During two years of Viteri’s management, the council has delivered 494 vehicles to entities in charge of security such as the National Police, the Traffic and Mobility Agency (ATM) and the Corporation for Citizen Security of Guayaquil (CSCG).
The delivery of these vehicles, which will be added to the anti-crime work in the city, was carried out at the Firefighters academy that works for the Escuela Superior Politécnica del Litoral (Espol).
The governor of Guayas, Pablo Arosemena, participated in the act, who highlighted the union of the different institutions to face crime.
Government measures for the security of Guayaquil are insufficient, according to specialists; urgent coordinating body and local intelligence service
“This event demonstrates teamwork with facts (…), if we are together we can win the battle against organized crime,” said the representative of the Executive.
The insecurity that exists in Guayaquil forced the national and local authorities to meet this week to decide the measures to take in the face of the wave of murders, robberies and other crimes.
The military took to the streets again and the deputy minister will base himself in this city. Those are part of the running actions. (I)
