    Soaring temperatures threaten efforts to bring a raging forest fire in Portugal under control, officials say.

    The week's highest temperatures of around 38C (100F) are expected on Tuesday and together with windy conditions could reignite fires already quelled.

    Civil protection officials say although 70% of the fire is under control, what remains is a source "of great concern".

    At least 64 people have died in the fires since Saturday.

    The latest of the victims was identified as a 40-year-old firefighter who died in hospital.

    Many died inside their cars or a short distance away from them as they tried to flee. More than 130 other people have been injured.

    The government has declared a state of emergency in the forested region around Pedrógăo Grande, north-east of the capital, Lisbon.

    It's worrying that it's still burning. I wish the forest fire will be completely extinguished soon.

    64 casualties so far. It is the worst wildfire we've ever had. We used to have two months per year where wildfires used to occur. Now it seems they can happen in a spawn of six months as temperatures keep rising every year.

    Myself and all my relatives are from the same region where the fire is taking place. My grandmother's house didn't burned down to ashes by mere luck.

    Most people died while trying to escape through certain roads. They lost visibility because of the smoke and were trapped between the flames on both sides.
