The National Emergency Management and Civil Protection Administration (ANEPC) has activated a preventive SMS alert system for the public due to the extreme risk of rural fires, the agency said on Wednesday.
“This measure is due to the introduction of a special red level alert regime – the Integrated Protection and Rescue System – for a special fire extinguishing facility (which represents the maximum level of readiness and mobilization of structures, forces and units of protection and security assistance) in some areas of mainland Portugal “, the ANEPC statement explains.
Sending a free written message to users in Portuguese and English warning against the use of fire in rural and forest areas and the need to comply with the recommendations of the authorities began to be processed this Wednesday, from 09:00, by telecom operators. .
Due to the forecast for hot weather this week, the Civil Protection warned on Sunday that on days of very high and maximum fire danger it is forbidden to carry out arson without prior permission and communication.
ANEPC also warned against the use of brush cutters, brush cutters and shredders and the use of fire for cooking in rural areas.
