More than 380 operatives and 8 aerial assets are fighting a forest fire in the area of Proença-a-Nova. The firefighting operation includes both ground elements and aerial assets in an attempt to control the situation on the ground.
The flames are heading towards the village of Cerejeiras, which puts the local population and homes at risk. Authorities are monitoring the progression of the fire in this direction.
The fire is being driven by the strong wind in the region, which hinders the firefighters' work and contributes to the rapid spread of the flames. The adverse weather conditions are complicating the firefighting operations.
