Agreements for the prevention of forest fires

These agreements, in addition to addressing issues related to the forestry management in areas where electricity lines are present, encompass other commitments such as tests and trials of new solutions for preventing and fighting forest fires, carrying out awareness-raising campaigns, the provision of personal protective equipment for extinguishing fires, improving forest tracks and the refurbishment of access paths.
