Description

On a larger scale, in addition to responding to forest fires, BRIVAC contributes to the territory by training rural community brigades, strengthening autonomy and the management process for using traditional fire and fighting fires, contributing directly to conservation strategies, and implementing Integrated Fire Management (IFM) in the municipality of Cavalcante and in the Chapada dos Veadeiros territory, taking into account the fire management and culture of local traditional communities.Knowing that fire management deals with the operational aspects of using fire in wild areas, we can consider that fire management in the territory needs to include community-based IFM in its program, through the socio-environmental inclusion of these communities in the technical and research environment, without losing their main traditional characteristics as a rural community, in the context of producers and family farmers.In this way, we also hope to contribute to the National Fire Management Plan in the region, in support of the main fire managers in the region, working in the Kalunga Territory, Chapada dos Veadeiros National Park, settlements, quilombos and other rural communities. It is therefore necessary to reinforce uniforms and PPE for a better approach during firefighting and for use during training courses for community and volunteer brigades.
