Wildfires mobilize hundreds of emergency personnel across Portugal

Emergency services are currently battling multiple wildfires, including a large blaze in Agrelos, Alijó, which has mobilized 146 personnel and eight aerial assets. A separate fire in Mafra also required the deployment of over 100 responders and seven aerial units. To bolster national capacity, the company Avincis has leased two additional Super Scooper aircraft to assist in firefighting efforts through mid-October.
