Your safety is a priority: leave firefighting to the experts
Amid the increase in forest fires in Mexico, the National Forestry Commission (Conafor) makes an urgent call to the civilian population: do not risk your life facing the flames without the necessary training, equipment or experience. Your good intention could complicate control tasks and put you in danger. Safety comes first!
Let’s work together, but responsibly
After the tragic loss of a brave fighter in Guerrero, Conafor emphasizes: if you want to help, join in an organized way. Approach the professional brigades, register at the Command Post and collaborate on safe tasks. Your support is valuable, but it must be smart!
“Disorganization hurts combat”: Approaching without equipment or without warning diverts critical resources towards avoidable rescues. Forest fires are unpredictable: wind, terrain and climate make them more dangerous than urban fires. Let the specialists lead!
Did you know that training a professional fighter takes up to three years? It is a career with specializations in tools, aerial operations and more. Therefore, every action on the field must be precise and coordinated. Let’s celebrate their work and learn from them!
Be part of the change safely! Share this information to raise awareness and help us protect lives and forests. Do you want to contribute? Find out how to support authorized brigades and spread this key message. #PreventionIsPower
