Portugal asks Europe for help as wildfires rage

Portugal has asked for more fire-fighting planes as at least 15 wildfires raged in central and northern regions, including one that burned houses on the outskirts of the town of Albergaria-a-Velha.

More than 800 firefighters were battling that fire and three others in the northwestern Aveiro district, where police shut motorways - including a stretch of the main highway between the capital Lisbon and Porto - and evacuated several villages.
