Two “brigadistas” (civilian wildland firefighters) combat an active wildfire in Guajará-Mirim State Park. One uses a backpack blower (to remove oxygen and push flames back), while the other operates a hand tool, likely for clearing vegetation and controlling the fire’s spread. The image highlights frontline wildfire suppression by civilian crews in a protected natural area.
