While thousands of fans enjoyed Pitbull’s concert in Malta, the Civil Protection Department (CPD) was standing by behind the scenes, ready to respond if needed.In a social media post, the CPD shared a glimpse into its safety operation during one of the island’s biggest live music events, explaining that firefighters remained on standby throughout the evening.“Our role wasn’t to be in the spotlight. It was to be ready,” the department said.Thankfully, the CPD’s assistance was not required during the event, which it described as the ideal outcome.The department highlighted the extensive planning that goes into major public events, thanking the organisers, partner emergency services, security personnel and everyone working behind the scenes to help ensure the concert was both safe and successful.Photos shared by the CPD show firefighters standing by with emergency vehicles and equipment at the ready, remaining vigilant from the moment the gates opened until the final attendees had left.The post ended with the department’s motto: “Always Ready. Always There.”Shoutout to the crews working behind the scenes to keep Malta’s biggest events safe!•
