Head of Government Clara Brugada presented the First Gas and Electricity Installers Registry of the capital, a strategy focused on strengthening the prevention culture and reducing risks in homes. The registry, driven by the Heroic Fire Corps of Mexico City and certified by the Autonomous Metropolitan University, Azcapotzalco Unit, integrates trained personnel who will ensure the proper review and installation of domestic gas and electricity networks.
Certified installers to prevent tragedies Clara Brugada highlighted that this registry will allow citizens to count on reliable and certified technicians to review installations or make new connections. «It is about strengthening prevention in homes with trained and certified personnel from a university institution,» she noted, emphasizing that the training includes pedagogical tools, methodologies, and theoretical foundations.
Fires in CDMX: an alarming figure The Head of Government revealed that during 2025, approximately 4,500 fires were registered in Mexico City, an average of 11 daily, many related to failures in electrical and gas installations.
Faced with this scenario, she called on the population to avoid improvisations and go to certified specialists. «If we don't know, let's not invent. Today we have a reliable registry that can help us avoid tragedies,» Clara Brugada stated.
Open call and employment support The director of the fire corps, Juan Manuel Pérez Cova, explained that the program emerged as a preventive and accessible public policy. He detailed that in the first call, 350 people with at least three years of experience registered, who received free training designed in conjunction with the UAM.
In addition to contributing to safety, the registry promotes self-employment, as certified installers can be hired directly by citizens through the official portal of the fire corps.
First group ready and more calls to come The first group of 25 installers—including two women—is already certified and ready to provide services in the city's homes. Authorities announced that a second call will open in approximately one month, with the aim of expanding the registry and reinforcing risk prevention.
Promoting labor inclusion for women Clara Brugada also announced that they will seek to create a training school for non-traditional trades, such as plumbing, electricity, and gardening, with special encouragement for women's participation.
Meanwhile, the rector of UAM Azcapotzalco, Yadira Zavala Osorio, highlighted that this project reflects the social impact of academic knowledge by directly contributing to the safety and well-being of the population.
