The Amazonas Justice has ordered the Boi-Bumbá Garantido to meet fire safety and panic regulations at its facilities in Parintins after identified irregularities by the Fire Department.
The Amazonas Justice has mandated that the Boi-Bumbá Garantido, a traditional cultural organization in Parintins, must comply with existing fire and panic safety norms following an intervention by the State Public Ministry. This resolution arises after the State Fire Department identified several irregularities at the organization’s facilities, specifically at Cidade Garantido in the Baixa do São José neighborhood, where they manage various cultural and administrative assets. The seriousness of these safety concerns warranted legal action to protect the public and ensure compliance with safety regulations.
Boi Garantido has been given a strict deadline of 45 days to submit a compliance project and a detailed schedule of the necessary renovations to the Military Fire Department of Amazonas. These requirements aim not only to rectify the identified safety issues but also to enhance the overall safety standards of the organization that plays a significant role in the local culture and tourism. The local community is thus keenly observing the steps that will follow this legal mandate, as the organization is an integral part of the region’s festivities and identity.
The identified irregularities date back to an investigation that began in 2018, highlighting ongoing safety concerns at the Boi-Bumbá Garantido’s installations. The urgency of compliance is amplified by the need to safeguard visitors and community members who congregate during important events and celebrations. The lack of immediate response from the organization further raises questions about its commitment to the safety of the public and the legal directives provided by the court.
