A fire in Porto de Mós was reported at 2:54 PM on Thursday, prompting the mobilization of nearly 200 personnel to the site, specifically in Picamilho. Weather conditions are contributing to the situation, as Leiria is under a yellow warning due to the hot weather, which is expected to persist until Saturday.
To assist in combating the flames, five aerial units have also been dispatched. These resources are being employed to contain the spread of the fire and protect the surrounding area.
Authorities are monitoring the situation's evolution as firefighting teams remain on the ground to control the flames and minimize damage.
