The Municipal Civil Protection Service, in collaboration with SEPNA - Nature and Environment Protection Service of the GNR of Loulé, the Municipal Firefighters and the Parish Councils, promoted, between February 16th and March 15th, awareness-raising actions in scope of forest fire protection.
These activities took place in the commercial spaces of parishes in the interior and in the monthly markets of Azinhal, Ameixial, Alte, Benafim and Salir, through the distribution of leaflets and posters with all the necessary and important information.
«It has been the prerogative of the Municipal Civil Protection Service of Loulé to invest in a culture of security and civil protection, promoting actions aimed at specific segments of the population on probable risks and scenarios likely to happen», explains the Chamber.
Thus, with these awareness actions «the aim was, fundamentally, to inform the population of the obligation to proceed with the cleaning of a fuel management lane 50 meters wide, measured from the exterior masonry of the building and 100 meters in the agglomerations populations”.
Also, self-protection procedures in case of fire and the importance of communicating fires to the Loulé Municipal Line 24, through the number 808 289 112, were issues addressed.
«An informed community is a prepared community, and the best way for each one to be able to intervene is to be aware of the risks that exist in their environment, as well as the self-protection procedures that must be adopted, thus being able to minimize the damages resulting from a situation of exception», consider the municipal officials.
