Storm
damage over the winter months has increased fears of devastating wildfires this
summer.
The
relevant authorities in Portugal, Spain and France have come up with a plan to closely
share wildfire information.
The
storms in January created a dangerous growth of ground vegetation and a blockage
of hundreds of kilometres of forest paths, especially in the central region of
Portugal.
Experts
in Portugal, Spain and France have just announced the development of computer app
to monitor real-time any local and regional spread of wildfires.
Even though this is still not the beginning of April, 100 firefighters are battling a blaze in the Peneda Geres National Park in northern Portugal.
