Volunteer firefighters in Paraguay and Argentina launch fundraising initiatives

The Volunteer Firefighters Corps of Coronel Oviedo in Paraguay has launched its 12th annual solidarity raffle. The primary goal of this campaign is to fund the importation of a new fire engine from the Netherlands to replace a decommissioned unit. The raffle features 200 prizes, including a new motorcycle, cash, and various household appliances.

In Argentina, the town of Altamirano is preparing for the second edition of “Las Noches de Altamirano,” a three-day event scheduled for January and February 2027. The event will feature traditional gaucho activities, including rodeos and musical performances. All proceeds from the festivities will be donated to the Brandsen Volunteer Firefighters.
