A first alert dispatch was issued for a wildfire in the Lisbon region. The alert was specifically directed at the areas of Azambuja and Alcoentre, indicating that the fire started or spread in this area of the district.

The civil protection authorities mobilized significant resources to combat the fire. Twenty-five operatives were deployed to the field, supported by five ground vehicles and one aerial resource for combat and surveillance operations.

This type of fire, classified as a brushfire, is common in rural areas of the Lisbon district, especially during periods of high temperatures and low relative humidity. The mobilization of aerial resources suggests that the fire may have considerable dimensions or risk of rapid spread.

The first alert dispatch indicates that the situation is still in the initial response phase, with authorities monitoring the fire's evolution and adjusting resources as necessary.
