Former Pilar official: “The fire did not start in my field, the high-voltage towers exploded first”

The former employee of the Secretary of Public Services of Pilar, richard elliotconfirmation that the fire that caused a massive power outage this Wednesday will not occur in his field, but in a neighbor, he told details about what happened, in Fontevecchia modeby net tv and RadioProfile (FM 101.9).

Why is he accused of being involved in the burning of his own field?

I am surprised because I cannot believe what is being said and how it is presented to me.

First they say that I was the former Secretary of Public Services of Pilar in the management of Nicolas Ducoteand the secretary was analia leguizamon, who was my boss. I worked for the mayor.

Was it the undersecretary?

Neither. Soy richard elliot and my only function there was to manage the maintenance of the heavy vehicle fleet that worked for the public services area. I took care of the purchase of spare parts and that the vehicles functioned in conditions.

When Leguizamon took over the management of Public Services, he found useless machinery and my role was to repair them, in this way I managed to save money for the Municipality of Pilar, refloating fleets that were in the corral cemeteries.

What was your load?

My activity was well below the bosses. My only formal charge was like adviserbut I was never a permanent plant.

Did you work in the secretariat and were you just another civil servant?

One more employee.

Blackout: a fire in a high voltage line left almost the entire country without electricity

Why is he accused of being involved in the burning of his own field?

I invite all the media to come and see, the burnt weeds are not in my field.

Between my field and Estancias del Pilar there are three or four more fields, these fields do not have weed control maintenance, and through these fields, and mine, there are high-voltage towers that supply electricity throughout the country.

At the time this all happened, I was working on one of the trucks, with one of my employees. We heard an explosion on the Estancias del Pilar side and started to see black smoke.

What a company official transmits to me transener It is that when all the brush that is under the towers catches fire, it generates heat and smoke, and that causes the high-voltage cables to generate induction, which set off the alarm at the power station. tunaand for prevention or protocol, people turned off the thermals and that is where the power goes out in the country.

How long have you owned the field? Has there ever been an outage for something similar?

Since 1992 and there has never been anything like it. It never happened to hear an electrical explosion in the towers.

Alejandro Gomel: Is it common to use fire as a method to remove weeds?

No. I want you to get rid of any ideas you may have that it was intentional.

Let’s keep in mind that the electrical crisis in the country is permanent and everything is overloaded.

I don’t know what could have happened but we are witnessing that the explosions may have been the result of an overload.

Was there a fire before the explosions?

No, we were surprised by the explosions that were like four and that caused the fire.

This was the fire that resulted in the massive fire, while they investigate whether it was intentional or accidental

Let me read you one of the sources by which you will be explored not only by an official.

The sources are all the writings that the journalists did and I want to denounce.

After this note I will go to the office of “Pillar daily” who is writing nonsense.

Because I was not Secretary of Public Services, the fire did not originate itAnd if they come to my field, they will realize that there are no signs that there was a fire here.

We’re presenting it wrong, isn’t he the owner of the field that caught fire? Since the fire did not originate in his field, we must consult the owners of the burned fields.

Clear. Our field the only thing he was involved in was the collaboration and give access to firefighters, police and civil defense.

Yesterday, another source of fire broke out and again the volunteer firefighters from Pilar came to put it out and highlighted their task.

Blackout: while they investigate whether the fire was intentional, about 70,000 users remain in the dark

Are you sure that the fires in the surrounding fields will break out after the explosion?

What’s my name? richard elliotit exploded and when it exploded the fire stopped.

Since our source is Pilar a Diario…

The newspaper belongs to the mayor Federico de Achaval, with whom we are politically opposed, and his intention is to dirty my last name and my family. Since they know me all over Pilar and they know who I am, I feel calm.

Me I’m going to denounce the newspaper because it never happened to me that someone wants to dirty me publicly.

We are talking about something historical, in which a power outage will have appeared in a major blackout throughout the country and on top of that they want to pretend that this was caused by me. I have all the evidence that it is not even in my field.

you, the national media, they take hold of the information that the local newspapers create. And the local newspapers sow the spark and then the fire is lit.

When this note is combined you are asked if you own the field that caught fire and you say “yes of course”

Of course… But hey, when I said yes of course it was yes of course it had to do with a place near my field. But the field is next to it and I show them the writing and the wire fence.

Are you still a supplier to a public body?

No, I do not work with any municipality or with the Government from the private sphere.
