The municipality of Covilhã was the Portuguese municipality most affected by fires since 2020, according to data from the National Statistics Institute. The municipality lost almost 30 thousand hectares of land to fire over five years.

The top 10 most fire-affected municipalities is exclusively composed of municipalities from the Centro and Norte regions of the country. These data reflect the concentration of large forest fires in the interior areas of these regions.

The information comes in the context of a statistical assessment that allows for evaluating the impact of fires on the different areas of Portuguese territory during this period.
