The forest fire that broke out yesterday afternoon in the Furna area, in Ribeira Brava, remains active, after a night of consuming vegetation.
The forest patrol team from the Mixed Firefighters of Ribeira Brava and Ponta do Sol remain on site, accompanied by a combat truck, totaling five prevention crew.
In an area that is difficult to access, the Civil Protection helicopter is already on its way to the site to begin operating.
