The critical wildfire period is fast approaching. To safeguard public safety it is important that we are all aware of fire prevention at this time of year. This is particularly the case in Monchique where the fire risk has already reached “extreme” on a number of occasions recently.
In order that residents have all the information needed, Safe Communities Algarve, the GNR Portimão and the ANPC (Civil Protection Agency) are holding a seminar where people can speak to the experts involved in firefighting activities and view some of the emergency equipment used.
The event, on May 30 in the Monchique Junta de Freguesia from 4pm to 6pm, is focused at those living in rural areas and will be in English.
Captain Rui Cardona, Commander of GNR Portimão, will be present along with GNR specialist units SEPNA and GIPS. The GNR Safe Residence team will also be present.
The event is free of charge. The Junta de Freguesia is located at Rua D. Francisco Gomes do Avelar, 8.
