The Portuguese government has once again extended the state of alert due to ongoing wildfires, marking the fourth extension since August 2. The decision was announced by the Minister of Internal Administration, Maria Lúcia Amaral, during a press briefing.
The state of alert, initially set to expire on Sunday, has been prolonged for an additional 48 hours, now effective until Tuesday at 23:59. This measure underscores the continued high risk of wildfires across the country.
In a significant development, two Canadair planes lent by Morocco will remain in Portugal until Wednesday, bolstering the nation's firefighting efforts. This international cooperation highlights the severity of the situation and the global response to Portugal's crisis.
The extension reflects the government's commitment to ensuring public safety and minimizing the impact of wildfires, as Portugal faces another challenging fire season.
