The National Authority for Emergency and Civil Protection (ANEPC) rejected today that there is a reduction in investment in firefighter training. This position comes in response to criticism that had been raised about alleged decreases in resources allocated to firefighter professional development.
ANEPC defended that it continues to invest significantly in the training of these professionals, ensuring that capacity-building programs have not been compromised. The authority emphasized the ongoing commitment to the preparation and qualification of firefighters throughout the country.
This statement from ANEPC comes at a time when issues related to the resources and working conditions of firefighters in Portugal have been under debate. The training of professionals is considered essential to ensure an effective response in emergency and civil protection situations.
