“Please do not burn trash, do not light fires in unauthorized areas, do not throw cigarette butts. These are very easy measures to follow that can truly save us from many problems,” stated the Mayor.
After touring the areas affected by the forest fires in recent days, Mayor Francisco Azcué called on the general public to exercise extreme caution and preventive measures, taking into account the weather conditions resulting from the heat wave affecting Concordia and the region.
“Unfortunately, it was a situation that was foreseeable because weather reports anticipated a summer with high temperatures and scarce rainfall, and everything indicates that this will not change, at least in the short term,” therefore, Azcué emphasized, “the importance of extreme caution and preventive measures.”
“Please do not burn trash, do not light fires in unauthorized areas, do not throw cigarette butts. These are very easy measures to follow that can truly save us from many problems. This depends on everyone, on the State yes, but also on the citizens, which is why I ask that we be responsible.”
Finally, Azcué highlighted that the various fire outbreaks throughout the department were contained “thanks to joint work with many institutions and also with Governor Rogelio Frigerio, who was present at all times, as well as the Minister of Security Néstor Roncaglia and the Secretariat of Environment.”
