Paraná inaugurates Cidade do Fogo fire training center

The Military Firefighters Corps of Paraná (CBMPR) has inaugurated 'Cidade do Fogo', a new fire combat training center located at the Military Firefighter Academy of Paraná (ABMPR) in São José dos Pinhais. The project involved an investment of R$ 4.3 million.

The facility features four independent simulators that allow for simultaneous exercises, including the 'Célula T', a model previously unseen in Brazil. These modules replicate various enclosed environments, such as residences and other buildings, to prepare firefighters for complex urban fire scenarios.

The center aims to train 700 firefighters and conduct 120 simulated fire exercises by the end of 2026. State Secretary of Public Security Hudson Leôncio Teixeira noted that the investment strengthens public safety and the state's response capacity.
