Nor will we forget the brilliant service provided by the volunteers from the Civil Protection, the Red Cross and our Local Police, the Denia Fire Brigade, the firefighters from Alicante, the brigades of the regional councils of Alicante and Valencia, the soldiers of the UME and the staff of the emergency service of the Generalitat Valenciana. We had a terrible experience but we were not alone. So many residents and citizens of Xàbia gave the best of themselves in helping others and that is the best proof of the character of this town. Many of my fellow municipal councillors also tirelessly assisted the people evacuated and in need, in the shelter provided in the college, and at the municipal offices. I am proud of the team we created and be assured that we will restore everything together.
