Hymn of the firemen:
“Hino do Soldado do Fogo”
Conta as chamas e lutas ingentes
Sob o nobre auvirrubro pendão,
Dos soldados do fogo valente,
É na paz, a sagrada missão
E se um dia houver sangue e batalha
Desfraldando a auriverde bandeira,
Nossos peitos são férrea muralha,
Contra audaz agressão estrangeira
Missão dupla o dever nos aponta:
Vida alheia e riqueza salvar
E, na guerra punindo uma afronta Com valor pela Pátria lutar.Aurifulvo clarão gigantesco Labaredas flamejam no ar Num incêndio horroroso e dantesco, A cidade parece queimar Mas não temem da morte os bombeiros Quando ecoa d´alarme o sinal Ordenando voarem ligeiros A vencer o vulcão infernal Missão dupla o dever nos aponta: Vida alheia e riquezas salvar E, na guerra punindo uma afronta Com valor pela Pátria lutar. Rija luta aos heróis aviventa, Inflamando em seu peito o valor, Pra frente que importa a tormenta Dura marcha de sóis ou rigor? Nem um passo daremos atrás, Repelindo inimigos canhões Voluntários da morte na paz São na guerra indomáveis leões.
Missão dupla o dever nos aponta:
Vida alheia e riqueza salvar
E, na guerra punindo uma afronta
Com valor pela Pátria lutar.

The Portuguese forces were led by Luís Inácio Madeira de Melo, who was ruthless against a Brazilian abbess, Sóror Joana Angelica, who refused him access to her convent. She was slain and became the first Brazilian martyr. The Portuguese occupation ended only with the surrender of the Portuguese in Bahia, on July 2, 1823.
