In the presentation of the National Plan for Integrated Management of Rural Fires, published on 16 June in Diário da República, Eduardo Cabrita stated that there are more means, more professionals and that the various components of the system are better connected.

His colleague from the Environment, João Pedro Matos Fernandes, admitted that the pandemic disrupted the initial plans and that the action programmes that will complete the plan should only be approved next fall to be in force from the beginning of next year.
