The fire started at 11:05 AM, triggering the emergency protocol. To stop the flames from spreading, the operation has deployed two semi-heavy helicopters, four groups of forest firefighters, two operations technicians, an Environment agent, and a fire engine.
At this time, authorities have not provided information regarding the causes of the fire or the total area affected. Plan Infoca personnel continue to work on the ground to gain control of the fire.
This incident follows other events recently recorded in the province of Almería, where high temperatures and dry vegetation have increased the risk of forest fires at the start of the summer season.
