On the occasion, eight military firefighters received the Guardiões Mineiros Trophy in recognition of their actions in a complex incident in March last year, when a tanker truck loaded with fuel overturned, sending flames onto the road and into some houses in the area.
The Military Fure Department of Minas Gerais recognized how firefighters acted quickly and efficiently to control the flames from the vehicle and prevent the fire from reaching more homes.
