This dissertation, titled change of paradigm in the municipal civil protection organization: the case of grouping of fire departments, started with a review of the literature and a reflection on the national civil protection system, to get the emergency management organization in the municipal scope, as the pillar of the entire system: concepts and theories, to from there identify the changes that have occurred at the level of the organization, operation and protection device response and relief to the population, with the creation of these groupings. The research methodology adopted was qualitative, opting for the case study, where the empirical part of this study were presented and analyzed the “cases” of grouping of fire departments in the municipalities of Mafra and Espinho. In the process of data collection appropriate instruments were used, fundamentally, documents of diverse nature and interviews, which were constituted as multiple sources of information. The semi-structured interview was used, guided by a script, in which the answers to the questions were subject to a content analysis, taking into account the validity and reliability of the results. The results obtained led to the conclusion that the solution of the grouping of fire departments could contribute to a new paradigm in the organization of municipal civil protection, with a view to monetize and optimize the available resources in emergency management.
