The Vouzela fire remains active in a \u201ccomplex area\u201d, worrying the authorities.<br \/>\n    <\/h2>\n<div class=\"c-article-content c-article-content--earth js-article-content\">\n<p>With the country on alert because of the heatwave, the national territory is already seeing the first major wildfires of the season. <strong>According to the Civil Protection Authority, 62 incidents were recorded between midnight and 3 p.m. this Thursday, some of them overnight.<\/strong><\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"c-ad u-show-for-mobile-only\">\n<div class=\"c-ad__placeholder\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"c-ad__placeholder__logo\" src=\"https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/website\/images\/logos\/logo-euronews-stacked-outlined-72x72-grey-9.svg\" width=\"72\" height=\"72\" alt loading=\"lazy\"><span>ADVERTISEMENT<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"c-ad u-show-for-desktop\">\n<div class=\"c-ad__placeholder\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"c-ad__placeholder__logo\" src=\"https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/website\/images\/logos\/logo-euronews-stacked-outlined-72x72-grey-9.svg\" width=\"72\" height=\"72\" alt loading=\"lazy\"><span>ADVERTISEMENT<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>One of them is the large fire currently burning in the <strong>municipality of Vouzela<\/strong>. According to M\u00e1rio Silvestre, National Commander of the National Civil Protection Authority (ANPC), the blaze broke out at around 3 a.m. and is still \u2018burning in a very complex area\u2019. According to data on the Civil Protection website, at 4.15 p.m. the fire was being tackled by 303 personnel, 90 ground assets and four aerial resources. <\/p>\n<p>As well as Vouzela, at 4.14 p.m. there were <strong>four other rural fires: two in Vila Nova de Famalic\u00e3o, one in Montijo and another in Our\u00e9m<\/strong>. More than 500 firefighters and other responders are battling the flames on the ground, supported by over 140 vehicles and 10 aircraft. <\/p>\n<p>Since midnight, the incidents recorded have involved a total of 1,995 personnel, 537 ground assets and 62 aircraft, according to the ANPC commander. <\/p>\n<p>The ANPC has raised the special state of readiness to levels two and three across the country and is considering placing the entire mainland territory at level three tomorrow. <\/p>\n<p>M\u00e1rio Silvestre said the response system is being reinforced, particularly through the pre-positioning of resources across the country, \u2018above all in the areas most exposed\u2019 to fire risk. The aerial fleet has also been strengthened, with \u2018two Air Force helicopters already deployed to the Vouzela fire\u2019. <\/p>\n<p>The ANPC insists that \u2018all advance measures have been put in place\u2019 but is urging the public to act with caution and responsibility. \u2018We need to underline the importance of safe behaviour\u2019, said M\u00e1rio Silvestre. <\/p>\n<p>The ANPC commander warned that firefighting conditions are adverse and that even nightfall is unlikely to help the crews. <\/p>\n<p>\u2018The window of opportunity that normally gives us greater capacity to extinguish fires at night will be very narrow tonight (2 July) and in the night of 3 to 4 July\u2019, the commander explained, adding that \u2018the forecast severity and fire potential in some regions of the country will peak at 11 p.m.\u2019 on Thursday night. <\/p>\n<h2>Heatwave: IPMA warns of a \u2018long-lasting episode\u2019<\/h2>\n<p>At a press conference that brought together several Civil Protection bodies, the Portuguese Institute for Sea and Atmosphere (IPMA) also issued a warning about a <strong>severe and prolonged heatwave<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<p>\u2018Temperatures will reach 40 degrees or even higher in some regions\u2019, explained Jorge Ponte, noting that the situation \u2018affects the entire mainland\u2019. <\/p>\n<p>As well as very high daytime temperatures, nights will also be difficult, \u2018with temperatures above 20 degrees and some even above 25 degrees\u2019, particularly in Greater Lisbon and the Porto area. <\/p>\n<p><strong>IPMA said the current heatwave will be \u2018a very long-lasting episode\u2019.<\/strong> \u2018We expect this heatwave to last up to ten days in inland regions, while in coastal areas it may end slightly earlier\u2019, Jorge Ponte explained. <\/p>\n<p>\u2018It is virtually a whole week of persistently high temperatures, with <strong>very unfavourable conditions for fighting fires<\/strong>\u2019, the expert said, adding that humidity levels will be low, even at night, and that strong winds are expected, especially over the next few hours. \u2018It is an extremely complex meteorological scenario\u2019, he stressed.<\/p>\n<h2>Portugal placed on alert<\/h2>\n<p>The Portuguese government has declared a <strong>state of alert across the entire mainland territory<\/strong>, which will come into force at 00.00 on Friday 3 July and remain in place until 23.59 on Monday 6 July. <\/p>\n<p>\u2018The declaration follows the raising of the special alert status of the Integrated System of Protection and

data-key=\"articleBody\">With the country on alert because of the heatwave, the national territory is already seeing the first major wildfires of the season. According to the Civil Protection Authority, 62 incidents were recorded between midnight and 3 p.m. this Thursday, some of them overnight.One of them is the large fire currently burning in the municipality of Vouzela. According to M\u00e1rio Silvestre, National Commander of the National Civil Protection Authority (ANPC), the blaze broke out at around 3 a.m. and is still \u2018burning in a very complex area\u2019. According to data on the Civil Protection website, at 4.15 p.m. the fire was being tackled by 303 personnel, 90 ground assets and four aerial resources.As well as Vouzela, at 4.14 p.m. there were four other rural fires: two in Vila Nova de Famalic\u00e3o, one in Montijo and another in Our\u00e9m. More than 500 firefighters and other responders are battling the flames on the ground, supported by over 140 vehicles and 10 aircraft.Since midnight, the incidents recorded have involved a total of 1,995 personnel, 537 ground assets and 62 aircraft, according to the ANPC commander.The ANPC has raised the special state of readiness to levels two and three across the country and is considering placing the entire mainland territory at level three tomorrow.M\u00e1rio Silvestre said the response system is being reinforced, particularly through the pre-positioning of resources across the country, \u2018above all in the areas most exposed\u2019 to fire risk. The aerial fleet has also been strengthened, with \u2018two Air Force helicopters already deployed to the Vouzela fire\u2019.The ANPC insists that \u2018all advance measures have been put in place\u2019 but is urging the public to act with caution and responsibility. \u2018We need to underline the importance of safe behaviour\u2019, said M\u00e1rio Silvestre.The ANPC commander warned that firefighting conditions are adverse and that even nightfall is unlikely to help the crews.\u2018The window of opportunity that normally gives us greater capacity to extinguish fires at night will be very narrow tonight (2 July) and in the night of 3 to 4 July\u2019, the commander explained, adding that \u2018the forecast severity and fire potential in some regions of the country will peak at 11 p.m.\u2019 on Thursday night.Heatwave: IPMA warns of a \u2018long-lasting episode\u2019At a press conference that brought together several Civil Protection bodies, the Portuguese Institute for Sea and Atmosphere (IPMA) also issued a warning about a severe and prolonged heatwave.\u2018Temperatures will reach 40 degrees or even higher in some regions\u2019, explained Jorge Ponte, noting that the situation \u2018affects the entire mainland\u2019.As well as very high daytime temperatures, nights will also be difficult, \u2018with temperatures above 20 degrees and some even above 25 degrees\u2019, particularly in Greater Lisbon and the Porto area.IPMA said the current heatwave will be \u2018a very long-lasting episode\u2019. \u2018We expect this heatwave to last up to ten days in inland regions, while in coastal areas it may end slightly earlier\u2019, Jorge Ponte explained.\u2018It is virtually a whole week of persistently high temperatures, with very unfavourable conditions for fighting fires\u2019, the expert said, adding that humidity levels will be low, even at night, and that strong winds are expected, especially over the next few hours. \u2018It is an extremely complex meteorological scenario\u2019, he stressed.Portugal placed on alertThe Portuguese government has declared a state of alert across the entire mainland territory, which will come into force at 00.00 on Friday 3 July and remain in place until 23.59 on Monday 6 July.\u2018The declaration follows the raising of the special alert status of the Integrated System of Protection and Relief Operations (SIOPS) and the need to adopt preventive and special measures in response to the fire risk forecast by the Portuguese Institute for Sea and Atmosphere (IPMA) for much of the mainland territory\u2019, the government said in a statement.<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/2026\/07\/02\/heat-in-portugal-fires-have-already-mobilised-over-1000-firefighters&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/48\/06\/83\/1200x675_cmsv2_c3b0095c-871b-5e63-845a-c25f80b9e2e6-9480683.jpg&#8221;] Venezuela Venezuelan security guard pulled alive from rubble days after quakes Armenia &#8216;You can count on us,&#8217; von der Leyen says in strategic Armenia visit Burkina Faso UN to close Burkina Faso human rights office after junta suspension Europe News Pressure mounts on Ireland to stop alumina sales to Russia Venezuela Venezuelan [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[90],"tags":[226,36],"class_list":["post-2023939","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-international","tag-crawlmanager","tag-euronews-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2023939","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2023939"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2023939\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2023939"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2023939"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2023939"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
