This fire is consuming Portugal’s Madeira Islands

Date:

Protugal has been recently hit with a wildfire that seems to be going out of control. The Madeira islands have been hit with a forest fire that is slowly, but steadily consuming the mass of the islands. Mass evacuations are taking place in the country.

The National Civil Protection service said just over 4,000 firefighters supported by 26 water-dumping planes and 1,262 vehicles were attending 149 blazes of varying sizes across the country.

The month of August, when temperatures are high, winds blow strongly and woodland is parched, is traditionally the peak time for wildfires in Portugal and other southern European countries.
