The fire, which broke out on Monday at 6:20 p.m. in São João de Rei, Povoa de Lagnoso, Braga district, has an active hard-to-reach front with more than 100 operatives fighting.
A source from Ave Sub-Regional Command told Lusa at 11:45 p.m. Monday that the fire had engulfed a patch of bush and that no houses were at risk.
The same source in the Civil Defense added that initially the fire was fought on two fronts, but now the means are fighting only on one front.
However, difficult access makes it difficult to work, he said.
By 00:00 Tuesday, 107 operators were on the scene, supported by 28 vehicles, according to the National Emergency Management and Civil Protection Administration (ANEPC).
