The combination of dry vegetation, low air humidity and winds favors the rapid spread of flames, increasing the risk of fires in vacant lots, forested areas and rural properties. In addition to the environmental impacts, the smoke generated by the fires harms air quality and can worsen respiratory problems, especially among children, the elderly and people with chronic illnesses. In a note, the State Environmental Institute (Inea) informed that it directly monitors and monitors the burning of sugarcane straw, as provided for in State Law No. 5,990/2011. The agency monitors registered areas, analyzes burning schedules and verifies compliance with environmental legislation. In case of irregularities, those responsible are fined and fined. The institute clarified that other fire incidents are the responsibility of other competent bodies, acting in a complementary manner in these situations. Campos dos Goytacazes is also part of the Fumaça Zero Program, promoted by Inea in partnership with other bodies. The initiative seeks to expand preventive actions against forest fires through environmental education in communities, intensified monitoring of state conservation units and issuing notifications to residents living around protected areas. According to Inea, when irregularities are identified, regional inspection teams are called to carry out inspections and take appropriate measures. Complaints can be made via Hotline Denúncia, on 0300 253 1177, or through the agency's Ombudsman's Office. Fire on vacant land in Parque Rosário in Campos Inter TV Reproduction
