Andalusia is currently in its high-risk forest fire season, which began in early June and will extend until October 15th. During this period, all restrictions associated with the high risk of forest fires will be in effect. The director of the Forest Fire Emergency Plan for Andalusia, Antonio Sanz, noted that the start of this season occurs with 1,089 hectares already burned, a figure nearly double that of the previous year at the same time.
