As atividades do corpo de Bombeiros Militar da Bahia: uma nova proposta de interiorização

Abstract

The goal of this research is to illustrate the range of services offered by the Bahia State Fire Department (CBMBA) in the state's countryside and to present a proposal for improvement of its activities in the region. In order to achieve the improvements needed, it is necessary to investigate deeper into the current administrative and operational routines as to implement solutions that will ultimately improve the firefighters' organization, its teams and equipment, in addition to a better understanding of the ever growing social, cultural and technological transformations as well as the continued development of public administration. Therefore, this research aims at contributing to the improvement of the CBMBA operational activities resulting in better administrative and logistical support, crucial to reach the proper levels of performance in their activities, mostly when it comes to the Fire Department Operational Units under the authority of the Fire Department's Interior Command (COBMI).
