According to the National Emergency and Civil Protection Authority website, at 4:00 PM, six fires (considered "significant incidents") were the most concerning on the mainland: three ongoing fires in Moimenta da Beira, Vila Verde, and Ponte da Barca, and three others being resolved in Arouca, Carregal do Sal, and Penafiel.

In Moimenta da Beira, in the district of Viseu, the alert for a fire burning in the parishes of Paradinha and Nagosa was issued today at 1:43 p.m., and the fire was currently being fought by 118 firefighters, supported by 18 vehicles and three aircraft.

In Gomide, Vila Verde, in the district of Braga, a brush fire was reported at 5:35 a.m. today. It was being fought by 101 firefighters, supported by 31 vehicles and three aircraft.

The fire that broke out on Saturday in Lindoso, in Ponte da Barca (Viana do Castelo), in the Peneda-Gerês Natural Park, was still ongoing, mobilizing a total of 677 firefighters, supported by 223 vehicles and 11 aircraft.

Late this morning, the fire was considered "stabilized" by Civil Protection, with approximately 60 people evacuated for safety reasons on Thursday night from their homes in the villages of Sobredo and Paradela, having returned to their homes.

According to Civil Protection, the fire has so far left 20 people slightly injured, including one civilian, and has spread to the neighboring municipality of Terras de Bouro, in the district of Braga.

The fire that broke out on Monday in Canelas and Espiunca, in Arouca, in the district of Aveiro, and has since spread to the municipality of Castelo de Paiva, involved 438 firefighters, supported by 156 vehicles and one aircraft.

In Carregal do Sal (Viseu district), a brush fire registered at 2:54 p.m. occupied 50 security and emergency personnel and 15 vehicles, while another, burning since Tuesday in the municipality of Penafiel, in the Porto district, occupied 197 firefighters and 60 vehicles.

Since Monday, numerous rural fires have affected mainland Portugal, especially the North, Central, and Alentejo regions. The flames forced the evacuation of villages.

Several people, including firefighters and civilians, were treated, with no serious injuries reported. There is also no indication of homes being destroyed, but forestry, agricultural, and livestock areas, as well as outbuildings and similar facilities, were burned.

The Deputy Secretary of State for Internal Administration, Paulo Simões Ribeiro, said today that firefighting resources are sufficient, although they cannot, with so many fires, "be everywhere at once."

Much of the districts of Bragança, Guarda, and Castelo Branco, in the central interior, are currently at maximum rural fire danger, according to data from the Portuguese Institute of the Sea and Atmosphere (IPMA).

This forecast also extends to the south of the country, to six municipalities in the Faro district: Portimão, Silves, Monchique, Loulé, São Brás de Alportel, and Tavira.

According to the IPMA, the maximum rural fire danger situation will continue in the coming days in the same regions.

The IPMA placed all districts in mainland Portugal, with the exception of Faro, under an orange warning between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. on Sunday, due to "persistent high maximum temperatures."
