The community of Vila Nova de Oliveirinha, in the municipality of Tábua, will mark this Tuesday, September 17, the memory of three firefighters who died fighting the flames.

The town of Vila Nova de Oliveirinha is preparing to pay tribute to the fallen firefighters, in a gesture that reflects the pain and longing still present in the local community. The memory of the firefighters remains alive among the residents, who recognize the sacrifice made by these professionals in fighting the fires.
The phrase from the title, "There are people who leave but never stop being present," synthesizes the community's sentiment regarding the fallen firefighters. This idea that the deceased continue to be present in some way in the memory and hearts of Oliveirinha's inhabitants sets the tone for the event.
The municipality of Tábua, in the district of Coimbra, has historically been affected by large-scale wildfires, a situation that has already caused fatalities among the firefighters dedicated to fighting the flames. The September 17 ceremony thus represents a moment of community unity around the memory of those who risked and lost their lives in the service of protecting people and property.
