In just one night 1/3 of the country caught fire. This was the summer with least fires in the previous 10years, and in just 2 days it's now the worst year. This was arson, it was organized in a way to make sure firefigthers couldn't fight all fires so they just protect homes and let the forests burn. Next year there will be windmills, lithium mines, wine vineyards and paper trees in all this burned area, this was criminally done for economic reasons.

Most fires in Portugal are arson, it has been like that for decades. I'm surprised that a country as small as Portugal burns every year and still has anything to burn 😢

It was thoroughly advertised on TV. It almost felt they were warning the arsonists it was theyr last chance this year. And apparently worked just fine.

It is sad that we need to get desperate amounts of help from other countries, though. It just gives everyone the impression that, no matter how often these severe wildfires occur, for example in 2003, 2005, or 2017, our government will never work on providing proper equipment or anything of such in time. On the national news, they always give such positive information to us, like the purchase of new planes to fight the fires, but when the moment comes and the equipment is needed, it's like we never had anything at all. Not to talk about how some people still didn't get help since the 2017 wildfires. Overall, I highly respect the countries that are helping us but, as a young person, this lack of preparation does not make me want to live here much longer

@@tigergirlptytI think it is sadder to be replying to someone online with complaints than to be thanking those who are helping us in a time or need. Remember when as a kid, your parents would tell you "this is not a subject to be discussed here, in front of others. Wait until we are home and we will have this discussion"? Well, this is one of those moments.

They imported and planted billions of Eucalyptus Globulus trees and since then Portugal is a tinder box, they call these industrial plantations meant for the paper mills, "the green desert", nothing lives, feeds or grows in them, no biodiversity, just these huge fire bomb monsters waiting to burst up into flames. Tasmanian blue gum (Eucalyptus globulus) native to southeast Australia, has been increasingly used in forestry outside its native range, and is nowadays one of the most important pulpwood species in the world. E. globulus Portugal it has recently become the most widespread tree species. the expansion of eucalypt plantations in the country only occurred since the mid20th century, closely followed by the development of the pulp and paper industries . Portuguese stands are managed in a coppice system, usually with an average cutting cycle of 10-12 years (Soares et al. 2007). Nowadays plantations dominated by eucalypts cover c. 812,000 ha and represent 26 % of the whole forested area in continental Portugal.

I'm Portuguese and for the last at least 20 years most fires are arson, the government does nothing about it. Not to talk about the replacement of the country indigenous pine tree that burns slowly for eucalyptus trees that burn extremely fast!

I live in Portugal. Its a fact here , that bombeiros , or firemen, are voluntary and only receive pay when there's a fire to fight...... You guessing it yet ? Firemen here have been caught setting fires. No one lives on thin air. Also, the paper industry here is a huge export industry. Consequently they plant Eucalyptus, a very fast growing, non native species from Australasia, known to be one of the most flammable trees in the world, due to its shedding bark strips , full of resin ,along with the other choice of forestry, Pine trees. Rarely any fires in native forest areas.
