A First Alert Dispatch was issued for a wildfire in the Porto region, specifically in the localities of Santo Tirso and Negrelos (São Tomé). The alert indicates a situation that has not yet been fully controlled and requires the attention of civil protection authorities.
The fire originated from dry vegetation, classified as "Mato" (brush/vegetation) in the alert typology. This type of fire is common during periods of higher heat and vegetation dryness.
Five personnel and one ground vehicle were deployed to combat the fire. No aerial resources were requested for this occurrence, which suggests that the fire has not yet reached dimensions that would justify this type of intervention.
The First Alert Dispatch is an initial response mechanism that allows basic resources to be mobilized before a possible escalation of the situation. Local authorities are monitoring the evolution of the incident.
