The Andalusian Forest Fire Extinction Service (Infoca) has declared stabilized a forest fire that broke out around 1:00 PM on Sunday in the municipality of Andújar, Jaén, in an area near the Encinarejo dam. The flames were definitively controlled at 9:40 PM.

To extinguish the fire, a significant operation was deployed, including an initial semi-heavy helicopter, four forest firefighter groups, an operations technician, a supervisor, and an environmental agent, in addition to two water-tank trucks. Infoca detailed the presence of flames through its official channels, highlighting the support of both air and ground resources.

This incident brings to mind similar episodes experienced in the Andújar sierra the previous summer. In July of last year, the Infoca Plan also managed to stabilize a fire in the Contadero-Selladores estate, and at the beginning of that same month, flames affected the same area near the reservoir's tail. That fire required an even larger deployment, with eleven forest firefighter groups, two reinforcement brigades, four technicians, an extinction technician, two environmental agents, a logistics support group, three water-tank trucks, and aerial resources including six helicopters and six planes, with collaboration from Castilla-La Mancha.
