“There are 13 displaced people. The municipal civil protection will find solutions so that they can spend the night safely, “said the commander in a statement to journalists at the scene.
Contacted by Lusa, a source from the Lisbon City Council said that “all the people have nowhere to go, except for an old woman.”
Municipal civil protection is “trying to find a solution” for that person, he added.
According to Tiago Lopes, the fire broke out on an upper floor of a building, “quickly passed to the roof” and then spread to the surrounding buildings.
According to the commander, the flames ranged from number 5 to 15, in a length of 50 meters, with no injuries being recorded.
“We only have the case of a lady who had a panic attack, but she is fine and safe,” he said.
Tiago Lopes also said he did not know what caused the fire, adding that police authorities will now investigate the causes.
Stating that they are old buildings made of wood, the commander of the Lisbon Firefighters Regiment said, in statements transmitted by SIC Notícias, that the main concern of the operational personnel was the “urban network”, formed by narrow streets that made it difficult to “Ladder vehicles” work.
“The attack had to be done from the outside in because the roof was completely taken [pelas chamas]. It was difficult, “the commander stressed, adding that, at 7:25 p.m., the fire was controlled and it was expected to be extinguished” soon. “
At 7:30 p.m., 51 operatives were at the scene, supported by 17 vehicles, according to the website of the National Emergency and Civil Protection Authority.
