Wildfires in Portugal have led to the tragic loss of three lives, prompting a swift response from European nations. As firefighters battle over 100 active blazes, the situation remains dire, with many residents forced to evacuate their homes.
As of Tuesday, approximately 5,000 firefighters are working tirelessly to contain multiple wildfires that have erupted across northern Portugal. The fires, which began over the weekend, have resulted in three confirmed deaths, including one civilian who succumbed to burns and another who suffered a cardiac arrest. The fires have forced an unknown number of residents to evacuate, with authorities still assessing the full extent of the damage.
Images broadcasted by Portuguese state media show the devastation, with entire houses reduced to ashes and thick smoke rising over the charred landscape, particularly in the Castro de Aire region.
