These amphibious planes, capable of taking off and landing on water surfaces, can carry up to 3,100 liters of water in their tanks. With a cruising speed of at least 250 km/h, they can reload water from reservoirs, lakes, and ports with a surface area of 2,700 meters, even at altitudes of up to 610 meters. This technical deployment is crucial to ensuring a rapid and efficient response in firefighting operations.

During her visit, García Valls highlighted the Spanish Government’s commitment to providing these strategic resources for fighting fires:

“These three aircraft have been essential in tackling forest fires in Castellón this summer, including incidents in Morella (15/07), Benicàssim (02/08), Artana (13/08), and Oropesa del Mar (29/08). Thanks to their deployment, we have managed to minimize the environmental and social impact in our province,” she stated.

The Deputy Delegate also underscored the strategic placement of these aircraft at the Vicente Huerta aerodrome in Viver (Castellón), considering the region’s critical water stress, which increases the vulnerability of ecosystems to fires.

In line with MITECO’s operational philosophy and Titan Firefighting’s preparation and expertise, the aerial assets based in Viver have extended their reach to other autonomous communities, responding to emergencies in seven provinces: Castellón, Valencia, and Alicante (Valencian Community); Huesca, Zaragoza, and Teruel (Aragón); and Cuenca (Castilla-La Mancha).

At Titan Firefighting Company, SL, we are proud to contribute to protecting our forests and communities by leveraging top-tier technology and expertise. We will continue working diligently to address the challenges posed by forest fires in an increasingly demanding context due to climate change and water stress.

Titan Firefighting reaffirms its commitment to sustainability, safety, and collaboration with public institutions to safeguard our natural heritage and protect lives.

• UNE 19601:2017 Compliance Management. Achieved in 2020, this focuses on the implementation and management of an effective compliance system within the organization. This refers to compliance with laws, regulations and ethical standards applicable to business activity. Obtaining 19601 certification involves establishing internal processes and controls to identify, evaluate and manage legal and ethical risks.
• ISO 37001:2016 Anti-Bribery Management System. Obtained in 2022, this focuses on establishing, implementing, maintaining and improving an anti-bribery management system. Bribery is a significant threat to business integrity and can have negative consequences. ISO 37001 certification helps prevent, detect and address bribery in all its forms.

We believe that having managed to implement these good practices and procedures provides us with clear benefits, such as:

• Legal risk mitigation: ISO 19601 helps identify and address potential legal risks before they become significant problems. This reduces the likelihood of legal sanctions, fines and reputational damage.
• Strengthening reputation: Certification demonstrates our company’s commitment to high ethical standards and corporate responsibility, which improves the trust of our clients and collaborators.
• Operational efficiency: Implementing structured compliance processes improves operational efficiency by reducing legal uncertainty and facilitating informed decision-making.
• Credibility and trust: ISO 37001 certification demonstrates that the company has solid measures to prevent bribery, which generates trust between clients and collaborators.
• It benefits employees, as it creates an environment of trust, reduces uncertainty and fear of retaliation. In addition, it promotes ethical behavior at all levels of the organization, helping to create a feeling of pride and belonging to a responsible organization.

For its implementation, staff were trained and a committee was created that is responsible for ensuring that staff comply with compliance standards. On the other hand, communication channels have been established by email or through the form on the web so that if any employee detects any type of strange behavior, anomaly, unethical attitude, that may not comply with the procedures and good practices, they can be notified.

A reporting channel has also been created on the website, so that these behaviors can be reported by employees or third parties.

At Titan we are very proud of the entire team that is part of the company for what we have achieved and for everyone’s involvement.

According to Avion Revue:

“The Avion Revue Awards are the only independent awards given for outstanding performance in the aviation industry.

The Avion Revue Internacional awards are granted by the editorial team of the magazine and their intention is to reward Excellence in the sector, a job well done and the search for constant improvement. The awards reward excellence in the activity of companies and personalities in the sector and, although they have defined categories, they are not mandatory in all of them, so that only the Excellent ones are awarded.”

• The award obtained by Titan is the result of the efforts of the teams that work in the fight against fires in different parts of the world and mainly due to the results obtained by Titan Firefighting in our operations in Turkey. We indicate some information about the operations carried out in Turkey in 2022, the year in which we began to provide our services.
• We have operated 14 AT-802 aircraft located in 5 bases distributed in different areas.
  From the 226,840 hectares in 2021, we have managed to reduce them to only 2,500 hectares in this year 2022.
• From a sad figure of 9 deaths and more than 800 injuries in 2021, we have gone on to a firefighting campaign, with no fatalities or injuries in 2022.

All of this motivates us to continue working to improve and achieve the best successes both in reducing burned surfaces and, mainly, in the number of people affected.

The event began with a speech from our CEO Mr. Rafael Selma, who thanked all the employees for their efforts in achieving important achievements during the 2022 campaign and announced the plans and actions foreseen for 2023.

An emotional moment was the remembrance of the memory of André Serra Raposo, one of our pilots who unfortunately died when he was fighting fires in Portugal this year.

Another presentation was the announcement of Titan Firefighting’s sponsorship of motorcycle rider Rubén Saldaña in his participation in the Dakar in this 2023 edition. The rider attended the event dressed in the official equipment and with a replica of the bike with which he will compete.

Finally, as is tradition, the local priest blessed our facilities and made a small liturgical act honoring the memory of our deceased colleague.

Afterwards, a meal took place in which we were able to enjoy good times with our colleagues and friends who accompanied us.
