Corpo de Bombeiros Militar de Minas Gerais

The Corpo de Bombeiros Militar de Minas Gerais (Minas Gerais firefighters) was founded in 1911 in Belo Horizonte, providing more than 100 years of service to the state. More than 1,850 firefighters from Minas Gerais and other states have been active in Brumadinho since the Corrégo Feijão mine dam collapse in January of 2019. At first, the firefighters focused on rescuing survivors and ensuring the safety of residents. They are now faced with the difficult task of recovering bodies from the mud.

So far 240 bodies have been identified and many people are still missing, with the rescue teams continuing their searches. Today an average of 150 tireless heroes, including 4 dogs, 100 machines and several drones are active in the region, with no end to the work in sight. Along with searching for the disappeared, the firefighters are working to remove the mining waste from the area.
