During the dry season in Panama, firefighters have responded to more than 3,300 emergencies so far in 2025. This phenomenon is a recurring problem affecting many regions of the country.
Among the most common emergencies are wildfires, traffic accidents, water rescues, and urgent medical care. Firefighters have had to put in a great effort to cope with the increasing number of emergency situations that arise day by day.
According to statements from a firefighter spokesperson, the lack of rainfall has contributed to the rise in emergencies during this season. This highlights the importance of having a contingency plan and adequate resources to respond effectively to the emergencies that arise.
"We are seeing a significant increase in the number of interventions we perform daily. It is essential that the population takes preventive measures and knows how to act in case of emergency to save lives and protect property," noted the firefighter spokesperson.
In light of this situation, authorities are calling on the population to follow safety and prevention recommendations to avoid risky situations and protect both people's lives and the environment.
