Dear Donors, Fundación Bomberos de Argentina, focuses on creating a safer and more resilient community. One of the objectives is to promote the welfare of volunteer firefighters and their proper social recognition to perform their tasks in the best possible way. Its beneficiaries are around 44,000 men and women who work as volunteer firefighters in more than 1,000 cities and 21 provinces in Argentina.
The latest campaign developed and currently ongoing is Puentes de la Prevención, which aims to collaborate between the community and firefighters in terms of prevention culture. The "Puentes de la prevención" campaign was launched in 2021 after the fires affected 14 Argentinean provinces. At this moment, volunteer firefighters assisted in more than 30,000 forest fires. More than 40,000 hectares affected across the country were recorded in the first months of 2021.
With the contribution of organisations, companies and especially donors like you, we have managed to make a sufficient investment to purchase 720 items to make up 80 Kits, leaving installed capacity for the 20 affected Volunteer Firefighter Associations in Chubut and Rio Negro, which have more than 660 firefighters.
These achievements would have been impossible without your support.
We are deeply grateful,
Fundación Bomberos
