Johannes de Haas is the new commander of the Aruba Fire Department
ORANJESTAD - On Monday morning, the Minister of Justice and Social Affairs, Mr. Rocco Tjon, met with the new commander of the Aruba Fire Department (DBA), Mr. Johannes de Haas, who will lead this organization for the next two years.
The fire department service invested significantly in supplies, fire trucks, and staff members' training. However, there are still many challenges, for which Mr. Mark van Aken has drawn up an action plan to improve the operations of the fire department and also received support from the Schiphol Group for the fire station Oscar, which is the station at the airport. Personnel training is essential, and there will continue to be investments in the professionalization of the Aruba Fire Department team. Recent investments in the Aruba Fire Department include the San Nicolas and the Oscar fire station renovation.
Minister Tjon thanked Mr. Scoop for temporarily leading the management team to comply with the specific international standards to ensure the airport's operation.
