Abstract(s)
De entre os vários Agentes de Proteção Civil, os Corpos de Bombeiros (CB) são
aqueles que apresentam maior atividade, maior efetivo e maior cobertura geográfica.
No entanto, o modelo de organização dos CB existente assenta sobretudo em
pessoal voluntário e numa distribuição territorial sem critério conhecido, resultando
num desequilíbrio da resposta operacional e numa vincada assimetria ao longo do
território. Impende, por isso, uma reflexão sobre o setor, com uma clara alteração do
paradigma, sustentada na crescente vinculação profissional do capital humano.
Através do cruzamento da revisão bibliográfica, documental e legislativa com as
conclusões de um inquérito realizado a 87,3% dos quadros de comando dos CB de
Portugal continental, estabeleceu-se um modelo de identificação dos recursos humanos
necessários para cada CB, considerando a profissionalização dos serviços operacionais
mínimos, os tempos máximos de resposta em função da população e da área geográfica
e a existência de apenas um CB por município.
Em cada município deve existir apenas um CB, independentemente do número de
quartéis necessários para assegurar tempos de intervenção aceitáveis numa
determinada área geográfica. São propostos 278 CB, sendo que em 124 casos (44,6%) é
sugerido mais do que um quartel. Em cada CB devem existir, pelo menos, 4 estruturas
profissionais correspondentes aos serviços operacionais mínimos – quadro de comando,
sala de operações e comunicações, equipas de intervenção permanente e equipas de
emergência pré-hospitalar. Para o cumprimento desse desígnio são necessários 22.967
bombeiros profissionais, o que corresponde a um rácio de 2,3 bombeiros profissionais
por cada 1.000 habitantes, efetivo inferior ao das Forças Armadas e da Guarda Nacional
Republicana e muito próximo do efetivo da Polícia de Segurança Pública. Portanto, seria
necessário profissionalizar 74% dos bombeiros registados, mas desconhece-se o
caminho que falta percorrer, pois não foi possível aferir quantos bombeiros com vínculo
profissional dedicados exclusivamente a missões de proteção e socorro existem.
Among the various Civil Protection Agents, the Fire Departments (FD) are those with the highest activity, the most effective and the largest geographical coverage. However, the existing organization model relies mainly on volunteer staff, as well as territorial distribution without known criteria, which seems to result in an imbalance in operational response and a marked asymmetry across the territory. Therefore, it requires a reflection on the sector, with a clear paradigm shift, sustained by the growing of professional human capital. Through the intersection of the bibliographic, documentary and legislative revision with the conclusions of a survey carried out among 87.3% of the FD command staff, a model of identification of the necessary human resources was established, considering the professionalization of minimum operating services, the maximum response times according to population and geographical area and the existence of only a FD per municipality. In each municipality there should be only one FD, regardless of the number of fire stations needed to ensure acceptable intervention times in a given geographical area. 278 FD are proposed, and in 124 cases (44.6%) more than one fire station is recommended. In each FD there must be at least 4 professional structures corresponding to the minimum operational services - command staff, operating and communications center, permanent intervention teams and prehospital emergency teams. To achieve this goal, 22.967 professional firefighters are required, which corresponds to a ratio of 2.3 professional firefighters per 1,000 inhabitants. This ratio is lower than the one of Military Forces and the Republican National Guard and very close to the one of Public Security Police. It would be necessary to professionalize 74% of the registered firefighters, but the way to go is not to go is unknown, as it was not possible to assess how many professional firefighters dedicated exclusively to protection and relief missions exist.
