Fire hits Monte do Galo, in Carnaúba dos Dantas

A fire was recorded this Sunday morning (18) in Monte do Galo, in Carnaúba dos Dantas, in the Seridó region of Rio Grande do Norte. According to civil firefighter José Evangelista, coordinator of the municipality's Civil Defense, sparks from fireworks released in the region may have caused the fire. Crews were called and managed to control the flames.

According to Evangelista, the vegetation is very dry, which favors the spread of fire. He warned that small sparks could start large fires, with the risk of burning the entire affected area.
