Costa Rica — The summer or dry season in Costa Rica is great for vacationing, but is the spark of brush fires that can easily spread to full blown forest fires.
And that is the reason behind the intense and exhaustive training that bomberos (firefighters) and members of the emergency brigade against forest fires that go through.
ON Saturday at least 175 people took part in the traning progam, testing skills and physical endurance against the clock, carrying equipment and hoses, put down fires as quickly as possible.
The event that carries into today is organized by the Comision Nacional de Incendios Foresales, all with the objective of being ready if and when needed.
