Overview
- Decree 1104/25 is now in force for one year across Río Negro as authorities brace for a high-risk spring–summer wildfire season.
- Outdoor fires are banned in balnearios, campgrounds, tourist complexes, rural establishments and recreational properties.
- Concessionaires of these sites must intensify vigilance and prevention or face severe fines for noncompliance.
- Officials ordered immediate criminal and patrimonial action against anyone who causes a fire, whether through negligence or intent.
- The order unlocks special administrative and financial tools to reinforce brigades and speed mobilization, while similar emergencies in Neuquén and newly in Chubut point to a region-wide response.
