To prevent the recurrence of fires like those that occurred last week in several municipalities of the metropolitan area, Monterrey will remain on 'maximum alert' during the disaster season. Mayor Adrián de la Garza emphasized the importance of preventive measures and urged to avoid burning dry leaves, a practice that can trigger fires. De la Garza praised the work done by the fire departments and highlighted the quick response to the fires on Tuesday and Wednesday last week.
'Thanks to the swift reaction of all bodies, both security and Civil Protection, they managed to extinguish the fires that were occurring,' De la Garza expressed. The mayor emphasized the collaboration between rescue bodies and Civil Protection from various municipalities and the State to address situations jointly and systematically.
De la Garza reminded about the availability of Civil Protection personnel to assist in incidents in other municipalities, joining state and federal forces. He stressed the importance of maintaining maximum alert given the fire season and the associated risks, such as fires on the roadside for various reasons, including vehicle emissions and brake friction.
The mayor indicated that this season is characterized by strong winds and lack of humidity, which increases the need to actively prevent the spread of fires. De la Garza urged for caution and collaboration among municipalities and rescue bodies to effectively address any incidents that may arise during this critical time of the year.
