North with zero firefighter training actions

SOL11 September 2026 at 16:36

Portugal's North has not carried out any firefighter training actions, according to data cited by the resigned president of the National Firefighters' School. This situation arises in a context of absence of training programs in the region.

The resigned president of the National Firefighters' School launched direct criticisms at Civil Protection, questioning the management and priorities of the institution responsible for coordinating training actions in the civil protection area.

The official's position comes in the context of resignation, which suggests significant internal conflict between the Firefighters' School and Civil Protection. The criticisms focus on the lack of training initiatives for firefighters in the North region.

This episode reveals tensions between the entities responsible for firefighter training in Portugal, raising questions about the organization and funding of training actions in the Portuguese civil protection sector.

Why this matters

This situation directly affects firefighters in the North region, who are left without mandatory training for the performance of their duties, and raises questions about the management and functioning of Civil Protection. The conflict between the resigned president and Civil Protection may compromise the preparation of emergency responders to deal with fires and other incidents in the region.
