We were round the pool of the Tropical Sol when ominous black clouds descended on the area. Expecting torrential rain we made our way inside. Feel bloody stupid now we have found out it was apparently smoke]]> Sun, 11 Sep 2016 13:45:35 +0000 https://albufeira.com/forum/large-fire_topic9560_post99363.html#99363 <![CDATA[Large fire? : The Bombeiros are amazing,on call...]]> https://albufeira.com/forum/large-fire_topic9560_post99355.html#99355 Author: carolenclive

The orange seller on the main road round the corner from us, on a dry grass pitch, has just lit an open flame bbq on two bricks so 3 inches off the ground, to cook his lunch on, absolute madness, just beyond belief!!!!!!]]> Sat, 10 Sep 2016 16:11:43 +0000 https://albufeira.com/forum/large-fire_topic9560_post99354.html#99354 <![CDATA[Large fire? : Thank goodness the fire appears...]]> https://albufeira.com/forum/large-fire_topic9560_post99353.html#99353 Author: Richardk

Thank goodness the fire appears to be out - fingers crossed it doesn't restart.

Our heartfelt thanks are due to the Bombeiros who have battled night & day to save lives & property]]> Sat, 10 Sep 2016 14:53:24 +0000 https://albufeira.com/forum/large-fire_topic9560_post99353.html#99353 <![CDATA[Large fire? : Andrew wrote:if this is another...]]> https://albufeira.com/forum/large-fire_topic9560_post99350.html#99350 Author: DICEYUK

So, circa 4km west of Albufeira we are under a blanket smoke cloud, in every direction including out to sea, in fact in the valley behind us it's down there as well, lower than us.
It is quite unpleasent, really hurting the back of the throat.
I appreciate this is little or nothing to complain about compared to the folks who are in the thick of it, I just mention it for info, along the lines of how far away we are and it's having this effect it must be a hell of a fire, my thoughts and prayers are with those who are affected or in the thick of it, and if this is another one that's been started deliberately.... my blood boils!

Not as bad in Albufeira but we are getting the smoke and some ash. I have retreated into the air conditioned comfort of the apartment as I suffer from Asthma and don't want to tempt fate with poor air quality. ]]> Thu, 08 Sep 2016 17:41:53 +0000 https://albufeira.com/forum/large-fire_topic9560_post99326.html#99326 <![CDATA[Large fire? : See here:-http://www.theportug...]]> https://albufeira.com/forum/large-fire_topic9560_post99324.html#99324 Author: Andrew

Jeezzz, that fits.
Here it is now worse than at any time, it is thickening, spreading and getting lower, the air quality is uncomfortable, I believe it's what you'd call acrid, very unpleasent, and this is how many miles away and just the smoke, imagine the fire, or better still, don't!

The fires at Monchique have re erupted with devastating results. I have just come back from Lagoa to deliver drinks for the Bombeiros and it is very thick there and as look to the hills you can see vast smoke clouds.
The Bombeiros are appealing for water & energy drinks for the crews - if you can drop into Lagoa Bombeiros which is opposite Fatacil ]]> Thu, 08 Sep 2016 17:02:45 +0000 https://albufeira.com/forum/large-fire_topic9560_post99322.html#99322 <![CDATA[Large fire? : Reached us at Loule.
