RTP Notícias15 September 2026 at 14:10

The fight against the fires that affected the Proença-a-Nova area mobilized more than 800 firefighters. The firefighting operations involved a significant deployment of human resources to face the flames that threatened the region.

During the night, the fire was particularly close to several villages in the area, putting the local populations and their homes at risk. The proximity of the flames during the night created particularly difficult conditions for the firefighters and the residents.

The authorities spared no effort in fighting the flames, with the firefighting resources working through the night to try to control the situation and protect the villages threatened by the fire.

Why this matters

The residents of several villages in Proença-a-Nova faced a night of imminent danger with the fire approaching their homes. The high number of firefighters mobilized indicates the severity of the situation and the significant risk to the local community. This fire follows a period of weather conditions favorable to the spread of fires in the region.
