New Units and Renovations Made by the Government of Mato Grosso do Sul
During its administration, the Government of Mato Grosso invested in the construction of the 1st and 2nd Independent Platoons of the Military Fire Department in Poconé and Santo Antônio do Leverger through partnerships. Furthermore, the 8th Independent Company of the Fire Department in Pontes e Lacerda was inaugurated, which acquired its own headquarters in 2021, after 19 years operating in a building provided by the National Department of Transportation Infrastructure (DNIT).
Meanwhile, in Sinop, the 3rd Regional Command underwent a restructuring and became the first fire station in the state with a modular container structure. The sustainable structure of the station resulted in savings for public funds, not to mention the speed of construction, which took only seven months.
