MERGOZZO, 14 Dicembre 2019 – Si è conclusa pochi istanti fa, presso la base Helix a Mergozzo (VB), la cerimonia di inaugurazione del nuovo e importante servizio di Elisoccorso notturno del 118.

Un elicottero proveniente da Torino ha simulato l’atterraggio e il decollo di fronte alle autorità civili e militari del territorio – tra cui il questore Salvatore Campagnolo – e ai numerosi volontari dei diversi corpi del soccorso che operano in Provincia.

A fare gli onori di casa è stato il sindaco di Mergozzo, Paolo Tognetti, e il responsabile della base Helix di Mergozzo, Massimo Piralla.
