Mayors demand Government support to compensate for losses caused by wildfires

Jornal Nordeste7 September 2026 at 12:08

Mayors from two municipalities affected by wildfires asked the Government for support to compensate for the losses caused by the fires. The mayors are requesting financial support measures to address the damage caused.

The wildfires consumed a total of 3,600 hectares of burned area between the two municipalities. This significant extent of land represents considerable material and environmental losses for the local populations.

The municipal officials are requesting urgency from the Government's response to minimize the impact of the losses on the affected communities. The situation requires rapid intervention by the governmental authorities.

The two municipalities now face the challenge of recovering and rebuilding what was destroyed, dependent on the government support that was requested.
