In the assessment made recently, the regional secretary of Health and Civil Protection pointed out the areas of Prazeres and Florenças, both in Calheta, and the town of Porto Moniz, as those that require the most concern.
In Calheta, 40 firefighters are involved, supported by 11 vehicles; in Porto Moniz there are 80 firefighters, with 27 vehicles; In Câmara de Lobos there are seven firefighters, with two vehicles.
When faced with the lamentations of some people who realized that the resources have not reached all locations, Pedro Ramos made a point of highlighting that at no time did the device fail and that the distribution of resources has been done according to who is in command of operations.
