In a significant step towards bolstering emergency response services, sixteen new recruits from the Funchal Fire Department are currently undergoing a rigorous training program at the Escola do Regimento de Sapadores Bombeiros in Lisbon. This initiative underscores the commitment of the Funchal Municipal Council to ensure the highest standards of protection for its residents and visitors.
