The Marine Firefighters of Marseilles – N°6 : Gas alarm | Le Bataillon des Marins Pompiers de Marseille | RMC Découverte

Marseilles is constantly changing and construction site accidents are common. The firefighters are in the front line to cap broken gas lines. This sort of intervention can quickly turn to tragedy. In summer, the Marseilles calanques park is a trap. The GRIMP is on constant alert. Lots of tourists get trapped in the maze of rocks and put themselves in danger once they move off the beaten tracks. Divers from the specialist Operations Section, SOS Aqua, are regularly called out to emergencies at the old port. These interventions take place in one of the oldest sites of this ancient city. The rescuers often find themselves faced with archeological, and sometimes dangerous, adventures.
