"The protection of people and property, within the scope of rural fires, continues to be one of the GNR's priorities, supported by preventive action and an effort to patrol forest areas," it is stated.

GNR's Appeal for Public Cooperation

The GNR also calls for everyone's contribution in preventing and fighting fires, advising:

  • Avoid risky activities, such as making fires near forest areas;
  • Follow the instructions of the authorities on the ground;
  • Do not place vehicles on roads used by emergency vehicles, to avoid hindering access to firefighting locations;
