\u201cThis is the profession of the future. When there\u2019s no more food or oxygen, that\u2019s when people will understand the value of our work<\/strong>.\u201d
\u2014 Caroline Dantas, Guardi\u00f5es da Cafuringa<\/em> Brigade (Federal District, Brazil)<\/p>\n

This line was spoken by firefighter Caroline Dantas during the \u201cBrigades in Network \u2013 Gathering for Strengthening and Articulation of Volunteer and Community Brigades,\u201d held in Bras\u00edlia from July 1 to 3. It was a spontaneous comment\u2014but it kept echoing through the discussion circles and workshops.<\/p>\n

Because it\u2019s true. While the world searches for technological solutions to the climate crisis, there are already people putting their bodies and lives in front of the flames. Most do so voluntarily, with few resources and a wealth of knowledge rooted in their territories\u2014whether ancestral, communal, or the result of a deep connection with their local biomes, as in the case of Caroline Dantas, who lives in a mountainous region of the Cerrado in Brazil\u2019s Federal District and serves with the Guardi\u00f5es da Cafuringa<\/em> brigade.<\/p>\n

\u201cBrigades in Network\u201d was built collectively\u2014born from the encounter between the Casa Socio-Environmental Fund and many partners who believe in the power of communities to protect their territories. It was co-organized with the National Network of Volunteer Brigades (RNBV), ISPN, IPAM, BASE, the Apinaj\u00e9 Women\u2019s Brigade, and the COPA\u00cdBAS Program<\/strong>, which is funded by Norway\u2019s International Climate and Forest Initiative (NICFI) through the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and managed by FUNBIO. This project stands strong with the support of all those walking together.<\/p>\n

Over three days, representatives of more than 120 brigades<\/strong> from across Brazil gathered in an unprecedented national meeting. These brigadiers know their territories like no one else. They understand where the wind shifts, where the fire tends to spread, and the right time to carry out prescribed burns to prevent larger fires.<\/p>\n

Brigade work begins long before the flames. Brigadiers clear forest floors in strategic areas, creating firebreaks to stop the spread, educate communities on fire prevention, and monitor early warning signs. It\u2019s a prevention effort that often goes unnoticed\u2014but can stop a wildfire from starting in the first place.<\/p>\n

When combat is necessary, they use radios, backpack water tanks, fire beaters, blowers, machetes\u2014and increasingly, drones and GPS. But above all, they rely on collective wisdom and mutual trust. Because true brigadiers know fire doesn\u2019t wait\u2014and only collective action can stop it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And that\u2019s why the gathering wasn\u2019t just about techniques and equipment \u2014 it was also about recognition. Despite being responsible for much of the fire prevention and containment work, these brigades still face a lack of funding, proper PPE, and sustained support, especially outside emergency periods.<\/p>\n

Women played a central role throughout the event. Female brigade members from across the country demonstrated that firefighting takes more than strength \u2014 it demands knowledge, sensitivity, and strong organization. Together, they reaffirmed that women\u2019s leadership is essential to protecting territories and safeguarding life.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe created the women\u2019s brigade not only to protect our communities, but to care for life throughout our territory,\u201d said Maria Aparecida Apinaj\u00e9, leader of the Apinaj\u00e9 Women\u2019s Brigade, formed by 52 Indigenous women in Tocantins. For her, being a brigade member is an extension of bem viver<\/em> \u2014 \u201cpreserving the living homes of the forest, protecting medicinal plants, and keeping our language, spirituality, and culture alive.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other women, like Ma\u00edz d\u2019Assump\u00e7\u00e3o, Secretary Director of the National Network of Volunteer Brigades (RNBV), reminded us that this work must be recognized as a grassroots public policy\u2014not as heroic improvisation. \u201cOur category is still invisible. But we do much more than put out fires. We do prevention, environmental education, we build networks and cultivate leadership. We defend the territories like we defend our own homes\u2014because that\u2019s exactly what they are.\u201d<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s exactly what these women do: they hold a fire beater in one hand and, in the other, carry children, stories, seeds, protocols, maps, and hope. That\u2019s why they face fires when needed and manage fire responsibly\u2014with knowledge, respect for the land, and a deep commitment to life.<\/p>\n

The Challenges and Lessons of Integrated Fire Management in Brazil<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fire is not always the villain. For many, it\u2019s a tool, a tradition, a means of survival. Brazil\u2019s National Policy on Integrated Fire Management (PNMIF) was born from this understanding: it\u2019s not enough to extinguish the flames\u2014we must listen to those who have lived with fire for generations.<\/p>\n

Imagine a farmer in the sert\u00e3o or an Indigenous person in the Amazon. For them, fire is used to clear planting areas, renew pastures, or carry out ancestral rituals. But when mismanaged\u2014or when the climate and deforestation spiral out of control\u2014it becomes wildfire, destruction, emergency.<\/p>\n

The PNMIF seeks to foster dialogue between science and tradition. Rather than banning fire, the goal is to understand how to use it strategically and safely, learning from those who have always known how to work with it. It\u2019s a shift in mindset: fire management isn\u2019t just about extinguishing\u2014it\u2019s about planning, respecting, and listening. It\u2019s about learning from the forest and those who call it home.<\/p>\n

For Gabriel Franco Chaskelmann, a brigade member of the Alter Brigade and one of the contributors to the development of the PNMIF, fire management is much more than the so-called prescribed burning. \u201cPrescribed burning is just one of the tools of IFM. Management is much broader,\u201d he explains.<\/p>\n

\u201cDoing IFM means looking at all of this. If an action ignores these factors, it\u2019s not IFM \u2014 even if it uses fire. Some people are calling any fire use IFM. That\u2019s not management. That\u2019s risk,\u201d Gabriel warns. For him, real prevention requires continuity and structure: \u201cPrevention needs presence in the territory, listening to the community, and strategy.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of the policy\u2019s strengths is the operational plan, which organizes brigade members, equipment, risk areas, and response capacity. \u201cIf someone asks why we\u2019re acting in a specific area, we show them the plan. It backs our work,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Gabriel also advocates that brigades play technical, educational, and political roles in the territories and must be granted recognition and rights, such as life insurance. \u201cThey offered adventure insurance. I refused. Being a brigade member is not an adventure \u2014 it\u2019s a way of living and protecting our territory. That\u2019s why we demanded life insurance. And we got it.\u201d<\/p>\n

For him, strengthening fire management also means investing in training and knowledge-sharing. \u201cThe PNMIF guidebook was created so that everyone can understand what IFM is. Only through knowledge can we strengthen what we already practice.\u201d<\/p>\n

The message is simple: fire can be responsibly managed \u2014 if there is listening, organization, and respect for those who have always known how to use it without destroying the forest. It means sitting down with communities, understanding their knowledge, helping build a plan: simple, direct, with a map, calendar, and strategy. It means involving government technicians, firefighters, and local leadership. It means looking at the forest and asking: what does it need?<\/p>\n

Congresswoman C\u00e9lia Xakriab\u00e1 participates in a meeting with brigades and reinforces the importance of formally recognizing wildland firefighting as a profession.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Federal Congresswoman C\u00e9lia Xakriab\u00e1 (PSOL-MG) participated in the national gathering of Indigenous and community brigades, where she presented Bill 3621\/2024, which proposes the creation and regulation of the Wildland Firefighter profession in Brazil. The proposal officially recognizes the work of brigade members, guarantees their rights, and values traditional knowledge in fire management.<\/p>\n

During her visit, the congresswoman met with brigade members from different regions and biomes, listened to their accounts of field challenges, and reaffirmed her commitment to supporting and protecting these professionals. \u201cYou are not volunteers. You are professionals. And the State needs to recognize that,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n

The bill outlines specialized training, medical and psychological assistance, life insurance, and the inclusion of traditional communities in wildfire prevention and response strategies. For the participants, her presence was a powerful signal that the voices of brigades are beginning to echo in Bras\u00edlia.<\/p>\n

Strengthening those who protect: the importance of direct support to brigades and community-based climate solutions<\/strong><\/p>\n

The climate crisis is not a future problem\u2014it is a present emergency. And if there is one investment with both immediate and long-term impact, it is structural support for community and volunteer brigades. This means funding not just emergency actions, but also ongoing training, equipment purchases, maintenance of local infrastructure, and strengthening of regional networks. Above all, it means recognizing that those who protect the forest are also safeguarding our water, our air, and our very ability to exist tomorrow.<\/p>\n

The experience of the Casa Socio-Environmental Fund has shown, for 20 years, that addressing the climate crisis must begin with those who already hold the solutions. And these solutions are born in the territories, grounded in traditional knowledge, collective action, and a deep commitment to life. That is why direct support to brigades is also a strategy for climate justice.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know the impact this work has. On a global level, these actions reduce greenhouse gas emissions, protect biodiversity, and contribute to the planet\u2019s climate balance. But above all, it is work driven by love for the territory. What we witnessed during these days was the power of a network built on trust, listening, and peer-to-peer collaboration,\u201d says Beatriz Roseiro, Program Manager at the Casa Fund.<\/p>\n

With support from national and international funders, the Casa Fund has been able to strengthen local initiatives through flexible funding and listening processes adapted to the realities of each community. The importance of this direct support was reaffirmed by Vanessa Lucena, a representative of Bem-Te-Vi Diversidade, one of the funders present at the gathering.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur support is very small compared to what you actually do, to what you give. The health, time, and energy invested by each brigade member in the territories is something that inspires us. We seek to enable pathways, support processes, but the greatest leadership is yours\u2014those making it happen on the ground,\u201d says Vanessa Lucena.<\/p>\n

Supporting brigades means investing in solutions that work. It means recognizing the wisdom of those who care for their territories as a way of life. And above all, it means ensuring that the fight against wildfires begins before the smoke\u2014through structure, continuity, and justice.<\/p>\n

Public policy must include brigades as a central part of the climate crisis response strategy. And mainstream climate financing must move beyond rhetoric and reach the places where it truly matters: the territories, and the hands of those already doing the work.<\/p>\n
