Actually wild fires are pretty common in the Mediterranean countries, and the forests have a natural tendency to grow back in a few years. We (Greece) have had our fair share of these outbreaks (2005 if I recall correctly, almost burned all of Peloponissos).

500 concurrent is kinda rough though, and almost always an act of arson. I hope for the best for Portugal and its people, along with the wildlife that usually get the shaft :(
