Today, Portugal is fighting several outbreaks of flames in the north and center of the country, which forced the closure of several roads and the railway line connecting Lisbon and Porto on the first day of the emergency due to the high risk of fire.
On the first of three days of alert issued by the Portuguese government, the Civil Protection registers six “important” fires on its website, including the fire in Urem, where the largest concentration of military assets.
the fire doesn’t stop
The fire, which started last Friday in the city, about 130 kilometers north of Lisbon, was declared under control on Saturday but reopened on Sunday.
More than 400 troops, backed by seven air assets, are deployed on the ground to stop the advance of the fire, which forced the cutting of the northern railway line, which serves between Lisbon D Port.
Also of concern is a fire declared this Sunday in Samard, in the north of the country, which, according to civil protection, is advancing at “great speed” and caused disruptions to highways and the national highway in the afternoon.
According to local media reports, more than 300 firefighters and four airborne troops are working in Samard to put out the flames that have reached the village and gas station.
Civil Protection extinguishes four more fires in the municipalities of Celorico de Basto, Monsan and Carraceda de Anciaes (north) and Alenquer (center).
three days on the lookout
The Portuguese government declared a state of emergency between this Sunday and Tuesday, the lowest level of disaster response due to the high risk forest firealthough it does not rule out that it will have to be extended for a few more days.
Portugal’s interior minister, José Luis Carneiro, recalled that the country is going through a “very difficult” period with heat, high temperatures and winds between 40 and 60 kilometers.
In addition, according to the latest data from the Portuguese Institute of the Sea and Atmosphere (IPMA), 55.2% of the country is in severe drought and 44.8% in extreme.
The Minister explained that in conditions of high alert, restrictions were imposed on the use of fire, machinery and agricultural work, as well as access to forest areas.
Civil Protection was also allowed to hire 500 firefighters, and containment work was reinforced by 25 patrols from the Armed Forces.
The government will meet this Monday to explore the need to extend the high alert for a few more days. (EFE)
