Portugal: Covilha Wildfire Spreads to Nearby Towns, Residents Urged to Stay Safe

The Covilha wildfire, now the country's most resource-intensive fire, has spread to Fundao and Silvares. Authorities have warned residents of multiple villages to seek safety as flames threaten homes, factories, and farmland. Roads are closed to aid firefighting efforts, and the municipal emergency plan is in effect. Since July, extreme heat-driven fires across Portugal have killed two, injured others, and destroyed homes and farmland.
