Three female firefighters were injured while fighting a fire in the municipality of Santiago do Cacém. The three women were part of the local fire brigade and were injured while trying to control the flames.

The fire originated in a vehicle that caught fire. The flames eventually spread to the surrounding vegetation, increasing the complexity of the situation and forcing the firefighters to intervene in a wider area.
