The Intermunicipal Community (CIM) of the Coimbra Region, composed of 19 different municipalities in that area of the country, decided to approve a recommendation "so that the burning of heaps is not authorized between June 1 and September 30, 2024".

"The decision arises from the need to standardize a single procedure on an intermunicipal scale, in order to prohibit the use of fire during the period most favorable to the occurrence of rural fires", reads a statement.

In it, the CIM of the Coimbra Region explains that "the decision arises from the need to standardize a single procedure on an intermunicipal scale, in order to prohibit the use of fire during the period most favorable to the occurrence of rural fires".

This has been, in fact, "a procedure adopted by the 19 municipalities of the CIM Coimbra Region since 2019, in order to reduce the risks arising from the use of fire in this territory".
