The Madeirenses Volunteer Firefighters were alerted this Friday, at 11:30, to a smoke column in Travessa da Ribeira de João Gomes, in Funchal. The alert led to the mobilization of a light firefighting vehicle, with three members of the corporation.
Upon arriving at the location, the firefighters verified that the smoke originated from a burn-off of waste from a construction site. The fire was quickly extinguished by the operatives on the ground.
The incident did not cause any recorded victims, with the situation being controlled without the need for additional resources.
