Heat and fire risk: know what is prohibited on days of very high or maximum danger
The National Emergency and Civil Protection Authority (ANEPC) has issued warnings due to rising temperatures, with wildfire risk classified as 'very high' to 'maximum' in the North, Centre, Alto Alentejo, and Algarve regions. Legislation prohibits specific activities during these danger levels, and authorities advise the public to adopt strict preventative measures.
Why it mattersIf you are in the North, Centre, Alto Alentejo, or Algarve, you must strictly avoid activities that could cause a fire, such as using machinery or lighting fires, as these are prohibited by law when wildfire danger is at its highest.
