Today the Bomberios were at Hugo’s Bar to meet and greet Residents who might wish to support them, and become a Partner of the Bombeiros Voluntários de Aljezur.

They are of course a very special group of people, and it’s important to assist as best we can and be supportive of their hard and important work relating to Fires and Medical Support within Aljezur and at times throughout the region.  The Bombeiros Voluntários de Aljezur play an extremely important role, essential to our wonderful community. Always available and very often putting their own lives at risk to keep us all safe!

 Unfortunately, notification was late and so we were unable to advertise this event to our readers either on our web site or on Facebook page.

 The Bomberios have agreed that we make available the membership form and the link below will enable you to print it off.

 Completed forms and donations  (minimum €12 per year) can be taken to the Station House in Aljezur where of course they will be gratefully received.  Please, as we have just done, become a member and support their ongoing frontline battle. Thank you!
