Bushfires, Northern Portugal.

[Pauljenny]

There are currently only 6 fires, north of Lisbon, reported on www.fogos.pt.
They are smaller and more isolated, than the weekend.
I would imagine it's much the same in Spain.
Local nformation is available online.
Fewer fires mean more resources to fight them.

Paul, you need to drink more beer and aim your little wrinkley hose at the fire.
Sorted!

 

[Pauljenny]

Drink more beer... Sensible.
Try to P155 on a bush fires... Daft...!
I'd burn my toes.

 

[Pauljenny]

Not good news.
The winds have changed direction and the local TV news shows fresh outbreaks up north.
.

 

[Pauljenny]

Only 4 bush fires in the whole of Portugal, this morning

All separate and north of Lisbon.
Just local TV making a drama to keep us watching the adverts.

 

[Pauljenny]

Only 2 live bush fires showing on fogos.pt
Castelo Branco and Cuidad Rodrigo.

Very sorry to hear about the bush fires. I had been thinking about the poor folks on holiday in Spain as well.

 

[Pauljenny]

The fires are mainly in the remote , wooded, mountain sides, difficult to access.

Far away from the main roads and tourist resorts.
But there can be smoke hazards if the winds change, as they frequently do.

 

[Pauljenny]

Still isolated fires, up north.
Red for burning.
Green for not burning, but under supervision.
Grey for safe.
Orange.. first reports

 

[Pauljenny]

Just the one, near Castelo Branco.
Hope @REC is ok.
