A fire engine was called out in Victoria, Gozo to fill road barriers with water to stop them from being blown away by the wind. The Civil Protection Department is now seeking payment for the water used, according to information given in Parliament.
Chris Said, shadow minister for Gozo, asked Home Affairs Minister Michael Farrugia why a fire engine was in Pjazza San Franġisk for a considerable time late on April 22.
The minister said the Works Department had asked the Civil Protection Department to fill 60 plastic jersey barriers with water to stop them from being blown away, endangering passers-by.
The Civil Protection Department has since asked the Works Department in Gozo to compensate it for the water used.
