Na sexta-feira, a Câmara Municipal de Sintra tinha indicado que, "devido ao risco de incêndio rural em `nível máximo`, emitido pelo IPMA [Instituto Português do Mar e da Atmosfera], o acesso à serra de Sintra" seria "condicionado no dia 13 de junho, a partir das 00:00", e enquanto se mantivesse "a situação de risco".
