Hello, my name is Alvaro Ramos. As many have seen on the news and are aware, parts of Portugal were affected by wildfires over the summer, many of which caused tragedy throughout the country. Our department was also directly affected in a negative way, in which we lost a vital piece of equipment en route to a wildfire call.

As a former Volunteer Firefighter and native of Vila Nova de Tazem, Portugal, I am asking you, my friends and family, to help us in replacing this unit that was involved in an accident and destroyed while en route to assist in controlling and extinguishing a wildfire in the area.

Thank you for your support!
