El Consorcio de Bomberos de Cádiz will add 31 personnel in 2027

The staff of the Consorcio de Bomberos de la Provincia de Cádiz (CBPC) will grow with 31 new firefighters in 2027. It is the first expansion of this kind in more than 20 years, according to the entity. The positions are added to the calls already planned to fill vacancies, so the reinforcement does not replace those coverages but is added to them. The goal is to increase the number of personnel in all the province's fire stations. The Consorcio brings together the town councils and the Diputación Provincial de Cádiz, and its staff operates in the stations distributed throughout the province.

The expansion must go through two administrative steps. The first is the Consorcio's new budget, whose approval is planned at the Junta General next December. The second is the Oferta de Empleo Público (OEP), which is expected to be approved during the first months of 2027. Until both are completed, the 31 positions will not take effect. The president of the CBPC, José Ortiz, presented the measure this Thursday to the union representatives. As he indicated, «together with the calls made to fill the vacant positions, we now take one more step», and he described the expansion as a «necessary measure to reinforce the staff and increase the number of personnel in all the fire stations of our province». Ortiz thanked the consortium members, town councils and the Diputación Provincial de Cádiz for their effort, as well as the work of the union representatives and the Consorcio's technical staff. The announcement comes after the incorporation of 41 new firefighters last Tuesday, November 3, who arrived to fill vacancies and reinforce the service, as the portal reported in November. A few days earlier, on November 9, the Consorcio also put out to tender 140 intervention suits and the purchase of 220 scrapped vehicles for training at the 20 stations in the province.
