The new leader of the Rural Fire Management Agency defended grazing and controlled fire as fundamental strategies to prevent rural fires. The agency believes these practices can help manage the accumulated fuel in forests, thus reducing the risk of large fires.
According to the official, there is an expectation to implement controlled fire on a large scale as part of land management. This approach aims not only to reduce the amount of combustible material in forest areas, but also to create conditions that make the spread of future fires more difficult.
The agency leader also highlighted that these measures can contribute to attracting investment to rural areas. Fire prevention through these practices is seen as a way to make these regions safer and more attractive for different types of investment.
