A First Alert Dispatch was issued for a fire situation in the Ponte area, in the municipalities of Braga and Vila Verde. The alert refers to a burn-off, possibly of waste or agricultural residues, given the typical context of this type of occurrence.
The authorities deployed a firefighting response with 7 operatives on the ground. 2 ground resources were mobilized to act at the scene of the occurrence.
The response does not include aerial resources, which suggests that the situation, although worthy of alert, does not present dimensions that justify the use of firefighting aircraft.
This type of first-level alert indicates an initial response from civil protection authorities, who monitor the evolution of the situation to determine whether it will be necessary to scale up the resources involved.
