Firefighters were called at around 9:30 am this Wednesday to extinguish a vegetation fire on Avenida Santa Catarina in the Tabuleiro area of ​​Camboriu.

Due to the high temperature and low humidity, the fire quickly spread throughout the area. Additional resources were immediately requested and support was provided by the garrisons of Balneario Camboriu, Itajaí and Itapema.

Since this was a difficult location, in addition to combating shock absorbers in isolated areas, support was used using a mechanical ladder and an Arcanjo-03 aircraft in the 5,500 m² area affected by the fire.

In total, about 200 thousand liters of water were spent on extinguishing the fire and its consequences, and 12 vehicles were used.
