Portugal forest fire burns 26 000 hectares of land | News Article

Portugal’s battle against forest fire continues with the concentration on the country’s northern regions days after the blaze erupted in the Pedrogao Grande region and spread on many fronts.


At least 26,000 hectares of land has already been burnt and 64 people have been killed.


Residents are angry at the lack of planning for this type of disaster and why the national plan to combat forest fires had not been reviewed in years.
