Madeira Firefighters Gain Experience in Civil Protection Exercise on Mainland

Firefighters from the Autonomous Region of Madeira are gaining experience in a civil protection exercise on the mainland.

A group of firefighters from the Autonomous Region of Madeira is participating in the Special Rural Firefighting Device (DECIR), an exercise taking place on the mainland.

This initiative aims to provide the Madeiran operational staff with the opportunity to gain experience in rural firefighting scenarios outside their usual area of operation.

Participation in large-scale exercises like DECIR is crucial for refining techniques and strategies, ensuring a more effective response in emergency situations.
