Fires out of control in Argentina

Even through tough circumstances, Fundación Bomberos de Argentina is still working hard to support the efforts of volunteer firefighters and keep our communities safe. Our support for firefighters includes equipping them with essential firefighting equipment, providing training to enhance their preparedness, and facilitating their access to vital resources, ensuring they can respond effectively to emergencies and protect both lives and the environment.

Additionally, our commitment extends to implementing proactive measures to mitigate the increasing risk of forest fires in the face of changing climatic conditions. By engaging in educational outreach programs and collaborating with local authorities, we aim to empower the community with the knowledge and tools necessary to prevent these devastating incidents.

The prevention campaign of Fundación Bomberos reached various locations as part of the Children's Day festivity, celebrated in Argentina on the 20^th of August. Volunteer Firefighter Associations from across the country organized events at their fire stations and public spaces to celebrate children on their day.

The Associations from Bovril, Pilar, Almirante Brown, Wilde, and El Peligro, incorporated the "Everyone on Alert" campaign into their celebrations. In addition to activities, games, and gift-giving, they taught the little ones about safety in different areas, such as home, school, and public spaces.

"We want to thank the Associations that chose such a special date to promote risk and accident prevention among children and their families," said the President of FBA, Lic. Vicente Gabriele. "Thanks to these actions, we not only continue with our mission of creating safer cities but also highlight the role that firefighters play in the community's well-being," he concluded.

This wouldn´t be possible without your help. Your contributions make a tangible difference in our mission to protect our communities and natural landscapes. As we continue to face these challenges, we kindly ask you to consider continuing your support. Together, we can work towards a safer, more resilient future, where the threat of forest fires is minimized, our firefighters have the resources they need to respond effectively, and our community is well-informed about the risks and safe measures to protect themselves and our environment.

With gratitude,

Fundación Bomberos de Argentina & The Mensajeros Family.
