In statements to Lusa early in the morning, the Sub-Regional Commander of Emergency and Civil Protection of Terras de Trás-os-Montes, João Noel Afonso, said that during the night the situation did not change significantly, and had even “eased a little.”
However, there was a reinforcement of resources in the morning, and by 09:00, there were 289 firefighters on site, supported by 96 vehicles and six aerial resources.
The fire alert was given at 19:55 on Saturday, and by early Sunday morning, it had two active fronts.
This is the fire that mobilizes the most resources, after the fire in Vimioso, in the district of Bragança, where at 09:00 there were 214 firefighters supported by 73 vehicles, was reported as contained early this morning.
