In January 2026, Fundación Bomberos de Argentina launched its Prevention Bridges Campaign with the aim of providing assistance to volunteer firefighters affected by the fires in Patagonia in the province of Chubut. It is estimated that more than 250 firefighters worked during the fires that affected more than 40,000 hectares of native forest.
During the emergency, more than 10,000 liters of water and isotonic drinks were delivered, along with 200 first aid items, among other contributions.
The campaign was supported by the private sector and the community, which raised more than USD 140,000 that will be used to purchase equipment for volunteer firefighters in the affected areas.
Over the coming months, the importation and purchase of the items will begin for subsequent delivery. The equipment will be delivered to the most affected associations so that firefighters can once again be equipped and prepared for future emergencies.
