Brazilian fire services conduct emergency response training in Sinop and Videira

The PreviSinop institution in Sinop, Brazil, held a two‑day fire brigade training for its staff on July 9‑10, partnering with the Mato Grosso Military Fire Corps. Participants received theory and practical instruction on first aid, fire prevention, hydrant use and extinguisher classes, aiming to improve workplace safety.

In Santa Catarina, the Military Fire Corps trained 26 firefighters and community volunteers in Videira on landslide response. The program, part of the Disaster Response Group (GRD‑02), included drills with hydraulic dismantling equipment, structural shoring techniques and drone‑assisted risk analysis to prepare crews for natural‑disaster scenarios.

Both initiatives reflect an ongoing effort by Brazilian fire agencies to maintain continuous professional qualification and enhance readiness for emergencies such as fires, medical incidents and landslides.
