On August 25, 2024, around 18:00 local time, a major fire broke out in a long-term parking garage in the industrial area of Prior Velho, near Lisbon’s international airport, possibly caused by an electric car. By 21:00, around 140 firefighters and 48 vehicles were working to contain the blaze and prevent it from spreading further. Despite the heavy smoke, airport operations remain unaffected, though the financial impact could reach millions of euros due to the destruction of hundreds of vehicles.

A large fire is raging in the industrial area of Prior Velho, near Lisbon’s international airport in Portugal.
The fire, which began around 18:00 local time, broke out in a long-term parking garage where hundreds of vehicles belonging to travelers were parked.
Local media suggest that the blaze was likely caused by an electric car.
The situation remains critical, with about 140 firefighters and 48 vehicles battling the flames by 21:00. Their main focus has been to prevent the fire from spreading further within the industrial area.
Despite the heavy smoke, air traffic at Lisbon’s international airport has not been disrupted.
The financial impact of this incident is expected to be significant, with damages potentially running into millions of euros due to the destruction of hundreds of vehicles.
Early fire detection could have mitigated such losses, highlighting the importance of advanced technology in fire prevention.
For instance, Planck Vision TNC thermal imaging cameras offer superior early fire detection capabilities compared to traditional systems, which often only alert after visible smoke or flames are present.
TNC cameras can detect abnormal heat conditions before a fire erupts, thereby preventing the destruction of goods and potentially saving lives.
