Guarda Firefighters Federation seeks lower fuel prices
The Firefighters Federation of the Guarda District (FBDG) is advocating for lower fuel prices and an updated pricing structure for non-urgent patient transport to mitigate rising operational costs.
Cláudio Serra, president of the FBDG, stated that financing mechanisms must keep pace with increasing costs to ensure that firefighting services remain operational and available to the public. The federation, which represents 23 humanitarian associations in the Guarda district, has submitted a formal proposal to the President of the Executive Council of the Portuguese Firefighters League.
The FBDG is suggesting that the government establish a specific regime for firefighters to access reduced fuel prices, similar to existing mechanisms for the agricultural sector. Additionally, they are proposing a dynamic update model to account for market fluctuations in fuel prices. The federation also emphasized the need to adjust the current non-urgent patient transport price table, arguing it is currently disconnected from the actual costs of providing the service.
