What Bombeiros Voluntários de Jaraguá do Sul does

Bombeiros Voluntários de Jaraguá do Sul (BVJS), legally Associação de Serviços Sociais Voluntários de Jaraguá do Sul (CNPJ 84.434.257/0001-41), is a private nonprofit volunteer fire and rescue organization founded on August 22, 1966, in Jaraguá do Sul, Santa Catarina, Brazil. The organization provides firefighting, accident and landslide rescue, and pre-hospital medical care integrated with SAMU (Serviço de Atendimento Móvel de Urgência) for the residents of Jaraguá do Sul, accessed via the 193 emergency line. It operates a fleet of 5 fire trucks (1 UT, 3 UCI, 2 UCIR) and 5 ambulances across one headquarters and three strategically positioned subsedes, supported by protective uniforms rated to withstand 1000°C for 10 seconds.

Beyond emergency response, BVJS runs the Centro de Atividades Técnicas (CAT), which conducts technical inspections (Vistorias Técnicas) of residential, commercial, and industrial properties for Habite-se certificates, operating licenses (Alvará de Funcionamento), event safety, and PPCI/RPCI digital compliance. It also operates the Centro de Capacitação dos Bombeiros Voluntários (CCBV), a training center offering paid courses in rescue operations and pre-hospital care, and delivers fire-safety lectures and community education programs.

The business model is a hybrid public-safety nonprofit revenue mix: partial operational funding from the Municipal Government of Jaraguá do Sul via formal convênio agreements, supplemented by a Termo de Fomento with the State Government of Santa Catarina, individual donations (PagSeguro, PIX), course fees at CCBV, and recurring social actions (Pedágio, Bazar, Rifa). Corporate revenue is diversified across the Empresa Amiga program, which lists at least 25 local and regional sponsors including WEG, Malwee, Duas Rodas, TRAPP, and CDL. The organization is governed by a triennial board (Diretoria Triênio 2023/2026) led by President Giocondo Tagliari Calomeno, with no parent company, no subsidiaries, no funding rounds, and no publicly traded securities.
