According to the Civil Defense coordinator of Cabo Frio, Marcus Dothávio, the period of dry weather favors the occurrence of fires and increases the risk of fire spreading through vegetation. "It is important to reinforce the warning so that the population avoids any practice that could cause fires, as flames can spread quickly and put the environment and areas close to homes at risk, especially in periods of drought. We advise people not to discard cigarette butts in vegetation areas and to immediately call the Fire Department when identifying fires," he said.
