A big fire north of Monchique and the smoke is coming down on the wind and beginning to cover the sky.

Fire required 671 firefighters. Sky here is clear this morning but I can see some haze further away. Situation and pictures - http://www.fogos.pt/fogo/2021020019189" rel="nofollow - https://www.fogos.pt/fogo/2021020019189

One serious burns injury reported and a small number of homes evacuated. It is a remote area around 30 miles from Albufeira so, other than smoke, there is nothing to concern those hereabouts. The wind has changed direction so the sky here is still clear.
