In central Portugal, a forest fire has killed 19 people and injured several others. The government has confirmed nineteen deaths and all of them are civilians. Three of them died from smoke inhalation and 16 burned to death in their cars when they found themselves trapped by flames on the road from Figueiro dos Vinhos to Castanheira de Pera. Around 400 firefighters are battling the blaze in the mountainous Pedrog'o Grande region, some 200km southeast of Lisbon.<br/><br/>
