He is a little calmer but saddened.
Sad and sorry.
But also with something that does not finish closing.
As if he had experienced an injustice due to the escrache he suffered on social networks for his
day of fury
.
After all, he is taking his first steps as an adult, although he still has a boyish face.
At age 19,
Gian Franco Forcone
knows he was
wrong
.
"I crossed the chain," he acknowledges.
With a slow tone, choosing the words so as not to muddy her even more (his lawyer did not want him to give interviews), the firefighter agrees to talk to
Clarín Zonal
about what happened to him and ended up "fucking" his life.
The fact: a traffic accident that clouded
the doorway
.
A bus driver locked him up (as the passengers themselves declared) on Paraná Avenue, on the border between
Vicente López and San Isidro.
The driver hit him and he fled.
Gian Franco chased him.
And he found it.
Dressed in his
Villa Ballester
volunteer firefighter uniform,
he got out of the car he recently bought with a crowbar and still has two years left to finish paying.
He smashed the windshield and the glass of the driver of line 140 that crosses several districts of the
northern suburbs.
"The light went out", understand his companions.
Due to his attitude, he was
suspended
by the Fire Department and
lost his job
in the Municipality of Vicente López.
Gian Franco tells his version: "First he touched the rear-view mirror and then he hit me. I yelled at him and he accelerated. A motorcyclist who was next to me yells at me not to let him get away. Even while he was driving away, the driver made me signs to teasing ", he relates.
A firefighter from the VIlla Ballester barracks destroyed a bus on Line 140 after a crash in Villa Adelina.
Gian Franco also has a
tragic history.
Although in the barracks they assure that they are two absolutely different situations.
That the most comfortable thing would be to relate his day of rage with personal misfortune.
It happened in October
2019
, shortly after landing his best job: a contract renewable every three months at the
Civil Defense Directorate
of Vicente López.
The firefighter agrees to remember: "We received a call for help due to a fire, but with the wrong address. I lived with my parents in Munro. We assisted the firefighters, we almost all arrived together," he recalls.
"When I realized it was my house I ran. I got to the living room. The smoke heated the air until it was unbreathable
. It burned me inside
. I had to leave without being able to find my mother," he describes in a voice that permeates despair.
"After a while I saw my dad come out of the flames. He had come home from work early and managed
to get my mother who was already unconscious
. When he appeared with her in his arms she was already dead from respiratory arrest."
Gian Franco did not want to touch the subject again for the rest of the interview.
Firefighter Gian Franco had a day of fury and hit a bus with a bar that hit him.
They fired him from his job.
Retaliation for his mistake was taken swiftly.
A few hours after his interchange with the bus driver, he was
thrown out
of the Municipality of Vicente López.
They canceled his contract that they had been renewing every three months since 2019. He does not hold a grudge despite his grief and that now he does not know well what he will do to survive.
Maybe
sell the
crashed
car
that he was so proud of having been able to buy, in installments.
"
I apologize
with all my heart, to the passengers, to society and, above all, to the firefighters. I tarnished the reputation that always accompanied us. If it had been without the uniform, my behavior would not have had such an impact. I
screwed up
", he is heard in distress.
From his detachment, in Villa Ballester, they
bench him
without trying.
They are still studying the sanction.
"Stop ... stop for a bit. You ... journalists. He didn't kill anyone. He made a mistake. And he publicly acknowledged it. Don't
try
to
lynch
a kid and screw his life for a mistake," one of his colleagues returns .
Gian Franco signed up to be a firefighter at
14
.
He awaits the sanction that can, as in the Municipality, lead to his
expulsion
.
"It's my life," he says.
His work in San Martín is voluntary.
Pure vocation.
They don't pay you a salary.
Now he just hopes he can
laugh.
