Oviedo, Apr 4 (EFE) ) of forest fires in five councils, mainly in the western zone.
As reported by SEPA, the works are being carried out in Allande, Tineo, Valdés and Villayón, in the west, and in Piloña, in the east.
The Allande, Tineo, Villayón and Piloña outbreaks are pending review, initially by agents of the natural environment, after refrigeration work was carried out yesterday throughout the day.
The Foyedo fire, which reached the coast in Valdés, is stabilized and SEPA firefighters and two forestry cooperatives are working in the area in surveillance and auctioning with the help of a bulldozer to control the perimeter.
The wave of fires, which began on March 23 and is already considered a stop, has been the worst of those registered in Asturias since 2017, having razed some 11,000 hectares.
Up to 800 people worked with the help of dozens of land vehicles, two seaplanes and five helicopters to extinguish the fires, which forced the evacuation of nearly 400 people.
Given the improvement in the situation, the Government of the Principality reduced the Principality’s Forest Fire Plan (INFOPA) to the emergency phase in situation 0 on Sunday.
