The fire that has been raging in Madeira for seven days has now reached Pico Ruivo. This was announced by Márcio Dinarte Fernandes a few minutes ago on social media.

The mayor of Santana was on his way to the highest peak of the island to bring supplies to the team of firefighters who were on watch near the Shelter House. But before they got there, they realized that the flames had already reached the summit.
