Fire departments across the Algarve will also be on standby to assist should there be any reports of fires in the mountainside town.


However, eight other towns and cities in the Algarve will be on high alert after the Met Office issued the second highest fire advisory for Vila do Bispo, Lagos, Portimão, Silves, Loulé, São Brás de Alportel, Tavira and Alcoutim.
