Over 200 operatives, supported by 13 aerial assets, are combatting a fire that broke out on Tuesday afternoon, September 1st, in the Penacova region. The fire is affecting difficult terrain, which complicates combat operations and prevents ground advance by firefighters in some areas.
Authorities have mobilized a significant force to try to control the flames, using aerial assets to support the work of firefighters on the ground. The situation requires significant resources due to the orography of the area and the vegetation present.
The fire represents a threat to the region, which has already faced several fire episodes during the high-risk fire period. Operations have been ongoing since Tuesday, with the resources attempting to contain the burned area.
