A firefighter from Pedróg Grande, Portugal, shared a picture that has gone viral. It shows how brave and selfless the firemen are as they fight a terrible forest fire in the area.
There has been a terrible forest fire in Portugal that has hurt 25 people and destroyed many places. There have been two earlier cases of the fire being so strong that it killed 114 people. 1,150 firemen have been working nonstop to put out the fire, putting their lives at risk to save others.
Pedro took the picture, which shows a group of tired firemen taking a short break by a river after working nonstop for 24 hours. The picture clearly shows the smoke-filled room, which shows how bad the situation is. Pedro said that the firemen had only been off duty for 25 minutes to relax before going back to work.
The public’s reaction to the picture has been amazing, with many people saying how brave and selfless the firemen were.
The firemen have also been praised by Portuguese Prime Minister Antonio Costa, who said that they have done everything they could, even if it meant risking their own lives. The cops were hoping that the terrible events of the previous year would not happen again, and the firefighters’ never-ending efforts show how much they want to save lives.
