Fire in Portel fought by more than 180 operatives and five aerial means

Correio da Manhã15 September 2026 at 18:37

A fire broke out in Portel and is being fought by more than 180 operatives, supported by five aerial means. The fire forced the closure of Itinerário Principal 2 (IP2), which is blocked to traffic between Monte Trigo and Portel.

Why this matters

Residents in the Portel region face immediate safety and air quality risks due to the fire. Travelers using IP2 need to plan alternative routes, as the main road is impassable. The scale of the operation with more than 180 operatives and five aircraft indicates a fire of significant dimensions.
