The 112 emergency service received an alert from several local residents who observed a significant smoke column emanating from the fire. The training area of the Cerro Muriano military base has experienced multiple fires recently, with the last one occurring in July 2024, which burned nearly 600 hectares.
The Infoca (Andalusian Forest Fire Information Center) has deployed two groups of forest firefighters, an operations technician, two water trucks, and a semi-heavy vehicle to combat the blaze. These ground resources were joined by two ground-load aircraft and two light amphibious aircraft.
The Cerro Muriano military base hosts the Guzmán el Bueno X Brigade, a unit of the Spanish Army that participates in international operations. It comprises three regiments, two battalions, an artillery group, a logistics group, and a headquarters.
