Wildfires continue to rage across northern and central Portugal, leaving five emergency workers dead, two seriously injured and four missing.

More than 2,000 firefighters and 250 vehicles have been trying to put out some 11 fires in the region. Residents of Santiago do Caramulo spent Thursday night and Friday morning helping to douse the fires around their homes.

"Nothing like this has happened in the past 80 years," said one local resident. "I can't remember ever seeing such a fire."
