A landslide occurred this morning between the Balseiras site and Seara Velha, in Curral das Freiras.
The Câmara de Lobos Volunteer Firefighters, the Municipal Civil Protection Service, and the PSP were called to the scene. Initially, there was concern over the structural integrity of nearby housing, but that was soon dismissed.
The situation was aggravated due to water being retained behind the land, completely obstructing the Ribeira dos Socorridos.
The circumstances of the incident are being assessed by the competent authorities.
