The Secretary of State for Civil Protection appealed to the population yesterday to avoid risky fire behaviors, using the individual conscience of each citizen as the main prevention tool.
The government official warned of the increased difficulty in fighting fires when multiple ignitions occur almost simultaneously, a situation that occurred recently in Boticas.
In his speech, the Secretary of State asked the population to use their individual conscience to prevent wildfires, referring to the events in Boticas and other areas of the country.
The appeal comes in a context of concern over the multiplication of fire hotspots that complicate the work of Civil Protection authorities in the field.
