Last year over half the fires was caused by the uncontrolled burning of land - either burning of debris or the extensive burning of land. To better control these activities, a new online system of the INCF (Instituto da Conservação da Natureza e das Florestas) has been established, replacing the former phone contact to the local fire brigade (Bombeiros):
- Register online through the ICNF website: https://fogos.icnf.pt/InfoQueimasQueimadas/
- Each time you intend to burn debris, make an application online
- Wait for the confirmation of the INCF by email or SMS to your mobile
- Observe the safety requirements during and after burning
For further information have a look at the PDF manual of the INCF website.
Alternatively, you can contact the INCF by phone 808 200 520 and press 2 for land cleaning and 3 for burning or other issues.
