The new fire station is part of the “100% Firefighter” project, considered innovative in the country, which aims to guarantee the presence of at least one operational unit of military firefighters in all 92 municipalities of Rio de Janeiro.
The detachment, identified as DBM 4/29, was made possible through a partnership between the Government of the State of Rio de Janeiro, the Fire Department and the Municipality of Paty do Alferes.
