According to the prime minister's office, the risk of fire will still be very high and maximum "in the interior districts of the Center and North regions and in some municipalities in the District of Beja", in addition to the Eastern Algarve.
António Costa and Constança Urbano de Sousa will meet this Friday with the Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces, with the General Commander of the GNR, with the National Commander of Relief Operations and President of the Portuguese Firemen League, at official residence of the prime minister, «with a view to the maximum mobilization of resources and pre-positioning in the areas of greatest risk», adds António Costa's office.
