The handover ceremony took place in Mogadouro on November 2nd, attended by Luís Fernandes, President of the Vinhais Municipal Council, and Rui Ladeira, Secretary of State for Forests. The event marked the signing of the protocol for the machinery's transfer to the municipality.
This provision represents a significant contribution to the operational capacity of the Municipality of Vinhais, enabling enhanced efforts in fuel management, land clearing, and the maintenance of fuel breaks. These actions are crucial for preventing and mitigating the risk of rural fires.
In a region characterized by its rich forest and natural resources, a focus on prevention is strategically vital. Equipping municipalities with adequate means and equipment is essential for more effective and continuous on-site intervention.
Through this protocol, the Municipality of Vinhais reaffirms its commitment to protecting its population, defending the forest, ensuring territorial safety, and preventing rural fires. Collaboration among various entities and levels of public administration is highlighted as fundamental for more efficient and sustainable forest management.
