Fuel increases are 'financially strangling' firefighters

The Portuguese Firefighters League warned today about the very negative impact of successive fuel price increases on the financial sustainability of humanitarian firefighter associations. The organization considers that these increases are strangling firefighting corporations across the country. The warning comes in a context of continuous escalation of fuel prices, which has affected various sectors of Portuguese society. The Portuguese Firefighters League represents and defends the interests of humanitarian associations and firefighting corporations that now face growing difficulties in maintaining their operations due to the increasing burden of fuel costs in their operational expenses.
