##This is NOT fake news, but it is untrue.
One Portuguese official gave a report, others later said it was untrue and no plane had in fact crashed.
Early stages. Very little info. Please add below if and when it arrives
Edit 16:47: Reported to be a Canadair tanker near Pedrogao
Edit 19:13: Portuguese officials now denying any crash. ‘Confusion’ according to BBC
Fight fire with fire… Hmm
I really hope there are no casualties because the people involved with the flight were flying for a good cause.
I’ve heard it’s fake news from the BBC:

Ha! Why do they do this to us?
Portuguese seem to be confused about whether it actually happened. Someone’s getting it in the neck
Actually in some cases we do fight forest fires/wildfires with fire (drip torches to be exact) just another tactic to utilize depending on the strategy chosen by the commander based on weather conditions and resources readily available.
I think this can be closed as it is fake news…
