During summer, the Argentine Patagonia suffered forest fires where over 50,000 native forest hectares were consumed.
Fundación Bomberos de Argentina launched its campaign "Puentes de la Prevención" (Bridges of Prevention), with which it assisted volunteer firefighters during the emergency with hydration items. In this opportunity, more than 600 bottles of water were delivered.
In addition, through Puentes de la Prevención, and with the support from companies and GlobalGiving, we will equip more than 200 volunteer firefighters from Río Negro, Chubut and Neuquén, the most affected provinces.
The amount -more than USD 45,000- will reach over 100 Volunteer Firefighters Associations, which ones will receive equipment to continue fighting future forest fires.
Project reports on GlobalGiving are posted directly to globalgiving.org by Project Leaders as they are completed, generally every 3-4 months. To protect the integrity of these documents, GlobalGiving does not alter them; therefore you may find some language or formatting issues.
