Keeping vegetation under control near homes and infrastructure helps prevent the spread of fire.

This includes:

-Clearing brush and dry vegetation;

-Ensuring safety distances around buildings;

-Avoiding the accumulation of flammable materials.

These precautions can make all the difference in the event of a fire.

The use of fire must comply with specific rules and, in many cases, requires authorization.

Before conducting a burn, it is important to:

-Check the fire risk level;

-Adhere to the authorized time periods;

-Monitor the operation until it is complete.

Without these precautions, the risk of ignition increases.

Some equipment emits sparks or heat that can start fires.

To reduce this risk:

-Avoid using machinery on days when the risk is highest;

-Make sure the equipment is in good working order;

-Be mindful of wind and temperature.

When the risk is high, even the slightest oversight can be critical.

Everyday activities can cause fires.

It is important to:

-Use grills only in designated areas;

-Never leave embers unattended;

-Do not throw cigarette butts on the ground.

Most fires start as a result of preventable behavior.

Taking precautions can reduce the impact of a fire.

Key recommendations include:

- Monitor the risk level in your area;

- Keep access routes clear;

- Prepare the area around your home;

- Always follow the instructions of the authorities.

Preparation should take place before a problem arises.
