A fire broke out this Tuesday, the 15th, in a scrubland area near the A36 motorway, in Odivelas. The flames started during the day and quickly spread through the dry vegetation in the area.
The authorities were alerted to the occurrence and dispatched firefighting resources to the location to try to control the flames. The proximity of the A36 may have worried drivers traveling on that road.
The article does not provide information about the area affected by the fire, possible causes of the fire, or whether there were any injuries. No human or material resources involved in the firefighting operations are mentioned either.
Odivelas, located in the metropolitan area of Lisbon, is frequently affected by fires in scrubland areas, especially during the summer months, when dry vegetation conditions are conducive to the spread of flames.
