A forest fire that broke out in the Fradelos place, Branca parish, Albergaria-A-Velha municipality, was being fought, at 6:30 p.m., by 233 operatives with the support of 74 vehicles and three aerial means. The mayor attributed the fires to a criminal hand.
The warning was given at 15:10. Due to the wind, the flames started with intensity in wooded land and reached the perimeter of the industrial zone, forcing the GNR to cut IC2, at the end of the afternoon, with traffic diversion to A1, EN 109 and EN 16.
The circulation of trains on the Vouga Line has also been suspended.
It was reported that the fire that most mobilized this afternoon in the Aveiro region on a high-risk day, given the high temperature, was resolved at 6:50 p.m.

“I have no doubt that fires were started” – António Loureiro (Mayor of Albergaria-A-Velha).
“We have three fires. I have no doubt that fires were set. One was born in Senhora do Socorro, to the east, he passed the road and the IC2, which is interrupted between the Volvo junction to the Soutelo junction, in Branca. The fire passed IC2. It goes on two fronts. On the second front, the North, it runs between two companies, Mazel and Sotavinhos.
At 4:45 pm two more fires broke out in Alquerubim, in the Fial area. It’s arson, clearly. There is a difference of 10 kilometers from the start of the Senhora do Socorro highway. The media, with two fires, are beginning to be difficult to manage. The fire is in the industrial zone, the firefighters are doing an exceptional job, fortunately they do not reach the factories. With the change of wind and projections, it has been very difficult for the firefighters, they begin to have no more resources. Fortunately, there were no incidents. “
Jornal de Albergaria shared photographs of the forest fire when it was underway.
