The Guardian has released a video report about Portugal’s most deadly fire, the June inferno at Pedrógão Grande, which took a week to extinguish.
"On 17 June, a fire swept through the forests of central Portugal, killing 64 people and destroying more than 480 houses.
“After a summer of record numbers of wildfires across southern Europe, the Guardian travelled to devastated villages in Portugal to find out why the June fire was so deadly, and what can be done to prevent it happening again,” reads the intro.
The deadly Pedrógão Grande fire spread quickly leaving behind death and injury while those involved in Portugal's fire fighting industry from government agencies, the politicians, contractors, emergency communications suppliers and the lumber industry, continue to try and shift the blame, evade responsibility and generally behave like childish cowards.
