Description
"It was very sad, like something out of a horror film," recalls Madeira resident Conceicao Abreu Castro, "The fire was all around the village." Portugal's Madiera island has been hit by a devastating wildfire that has been raging for more than a week. The fire started in the Ribeira Brava district and spread to the nearby Camara de Lobos, and Ponta do Sol districts in the southern part of the island. "For the moment, we only have a small active front," says the President of Madeira's regional government, Miguel Albuquerque, but adds to "maintain vigilance". IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
