The mayor has recalled the serious fire that ravaged his municipality last August, highlighting the speed and bravery of the emergency services who managed to bring the flames under control despite the difficult conditions. He noted that the fire not only destroyed several hectares of forest, but it also affected numerous homes and left several families displaced. The councilor stressed the importance of citizen collaboration and thanked the joint effort of all those involved in the emergency response, stating that the challenges faced have strengthened community resilience.

The mayor pledged to review the impact and explore possible adjustments to the tax structure to mitigate the economic burden on families, ensuring that his administration seeks to maintain a balance between sustainability and citizen well-being.
