Emergency services in Nicaragua and Argentina are focusing on strengthening response capabilities and equipment.

In Nicaragua, the Bomberos Unidos institution is working to improve its ability to manage structural and forest fires, traffic accidents, rescues, and gas leaks. The organization is enhancing human resources and equipment to provide assistance across various municipalities, particularly to mitigate risks like flooding and landslides during rainy seasons.

In Argentina, the Bomberos Voluntarios de Real del Padre have launched a solidarity campaign to repair a donated Mercedes Benz LT truck. Once operational, the vehicle will serve as the station’s Mobile 03, providing the institution with its first dedicated fire truck.
