Madeira's Firefighting Resources Under Review
The Lisbon government is considering the evaluation of a second aerial firefighting resource in the autonomous region of Madeira. This follows the disposal of one aerial unit previously, a decision made due to cost concerns and the absence of significant fire activity.
