Fire Department Battalion in Manacapuru. Vinicius Assis/Rede Amazônica A complaint sent to the internal affairs bodies of the Amazonas Public Security Secretariat (SSP-AM) and the Amazonas Military Fire Department (CBMAM) points to a possible "rachadinha" scheme involving military firefighters who work in Balneário do Miriti, in Manacapuru, in the interior of Amazonas. According to the document, to which Rede Amazônica had access, military personnel were scheduled to work on site, but left their post before the end of their shift. According to the complaint, part of the payment received by the firefighters would be passed on to the battalion command. Balneário do Miriti is located at the entrance to Manacapuru, a municipality located almost 100 kilometers from Manaus. The place is the city's main public bathhouse and has signs warning of the risk of piranha attacks. Even so, it receives bathers frequently. ?

One of them, who preferred not to be identified, reported that the military usually only shows up on weekends. "It's always empty. They come in the morning... On the weekend. They come, take a photo and leave," he said. Rede Amazônica also had access to videos in which people complain about the absence of firefighters in the resort. It was not possible to locate the authors of the recordings. "I'm here in Miriti, it's almost 12:30 p.m., it's going to be almost 1 p.m. and there isn't a firefighter here. Just now there was a situation where we had to manage 'in our 30', there isn't a firefighter here to save anyone if something happens." The place where firefighters should be located in the Miriti resort is empty. Vinicius Assis/Rede Amazônica Complaint highlights false schedules and transfer of payments According to the complaint sent to the internal affairs bodies, firefighters were officially scheduled to work at Balneário do Miriti, but would not remain on site for the entire scheduled period. According to the document, the soldiers were normally paid for the hours worked, but part of the amount should be passed on to the battalion command. An audio attached to the complaint reinforces the suspicion. According to the complaint, the voice was that of a lieutenant, who was not located by Rede Amazônica. "It's to pay, to buy something, I don't know if it's a notebook, something. It's for the box. Do you understand? That's why he only asked for someone's name, because, when he receives the money... the money belongs to the notebook, it's from the box." The document also states that the scheme was organized by the Manacapuru battalion command, especially between January and April this year. According to the complaint, the false work schedule would have been drawn up by the unit commander, Lieutenant Emerson de Oliveira Silva. An excerpt from the document reports that the firefighters involved "will just take the photo at the service location and then leave, altering the date and time of the georeferenced photos, using the cell phone settings." Corporation boat was stolen The complaint also relates the absence of firefighters at the resort to the theft of a corporation boat, which occurred on March 14th. The report had access to the police report recording the disappearance of the vessel. The Rede Amazônica team looked for the delegate responsible for the case, but he did not want to give an interview. Another point mentioned in the complaint involves donations of wood made by the Amazonas Environmental Protection Institute (Ipaam) to the Manacapuru Fire Department. The document asks that the destination of the material also be investigated, under the suspicion that the donated wood has disappeared. The complaint presents two donation receipts, issued in June and August 2024, in addition to photographs that, according to the document, record the delivery of the wood. A resident interviewed by the report demanded action. "The government, the governor, had to take action, because this cannot happen here in our municipality."
