Bruno Silva, the deputy commander of the Sub-regional Civil Protection Command of Cávado, highlighted at 12:15 am that the second front is burning with great intensity and efforts are being deployed to advance in the combat.
This new front is located in a cliff area, complicating the deployment of ground resources, he detailed.
