PPM Madeira has expressed concern following a fire in a building on Rua do Sabão in Funchal. According to the party, information suggests that some hydrants in the area may not have been operational, possibly due to a lack of water.
This situation, if confirmed, could have hindered and delayed the work of firefighters. PPM Madeira considers this a serious failure in the maintenance and oversight of the hydrant network, which is crucial for emergencies.
The party urges the responsible entities to urgently survey all hydrants in Funchal, identifying and immediately repairing or replacing any that are damaged or lack water pressure. Public safety and emergency response effectiveness must not be compromised.
