Another Blunder
[Article from Secom Rio das Ostras - my translation]
The City of Rio das Ostras is constructing a Fire Department headquarters but the corporation says they were not advised.
The Commander General of the Fire Department headquarters denies knowledge of the construction of the building in the city. The population is served by the Fire Department headquarters in Macae, which is 23 km away. The construction being done by the City to house the Military Police and the Fire Department is causing an impasse in Rio das Ostras.
