The somewhat frightening account came moments ago from a reader who “out of nowhere” encountered a fire outbreak at Pico do Areeiro.

According to Patrícia Barros’ testimony, everything was seemingly normal when, in the blink of an eye, flames started to appear without any apparent reason.

Our interlocutor mentions that as she was leaving the site, she crossed paths with a fire truck, which she says “may have already been alerted to the fire.”

It’s important to mention that, at this end of the day, many Madeirans and tourists are looking for the best places to contemplate the first supermoon of the year, which will illuminate the skies tonight.
