Portugal lowers fire danger rating back to ‘alert situation’

Date:

Lisbon, July 18 (UNI) After controlling the fire caused by the heatwave, Portugal’s Ministry of Internal Administration announced that the country will lower the fire danger rating from the “contingency situation” back to the “alert situation”, the lowest level, at midnight. The decision was taken on Sunday at a meeting by Portuguese President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, Prime Minister Antonio Costa, and the National Emergency and Civil Protection Authority, Xinhua news agency reported. The Minister of Internal Administration, Jose Luis Carneiro, explained in an official statement that “in the coming days the temperature should drop between 2 and 8 degrees (Celsius),” which allows “a small window to adjust efforts”.

Carneiro said that Portugal will return to humidity levels of around 30 percent, which “is still very high,” but better than previously about 10 percent. The objective is “to lower the level of demand in the mobilization of resources- es,” he added. In addition, he ex- plained, that this reduction to the “alert situation” will allow farmers to “carry out cereal cultivation” more freely.
