The document discusses forest fires that occurred in Portugal, particularly in the municipality of Lamego, between 1995 and 2009. It notes that 2003 and 2005 saw catastrophic fires that greatly increased the burnt area. It then outlines measures taken to reduce fires, such as forming a team of forest sappers to conduct preventative clearing and surveillance, and increasing awareness campaigns. Reforestation of burnt areas has also helped to recover land and maintain native species in the municipality.
