Around a hundred land means are still deployed in the place to secure the perimeter of the fire as well as air means, which have been incorporated since 7:30 a.m. this morning, according to reports from the Generalitat Emergencies.
Surveillance flights with drones have been carried out at night to detect hot spots and possible reproductions and there have been no significant incidents.
THERE WERE PREVENTIVE EVICTIONS DUE TO THE SMOKE
On Saturday afternoon, situation 1 of the Special Plan for Forest Fires (PEIF) was established, in case it could seriously affect forest assets and slightly affect the population and non-forest assets.
Preventive evictions were carried out due to smoke among the houses close to the fire and the Civil Guard evacuated 120 people.
Yesterday, up to five aerial means worked to extinguish the fire, as well as units of the Generalitat’s forestry brigades with fire engines, and firefighters from the Alicante Provincial Council.
The regional Secretary for Security and Emergencies, José María Ángel, is expected to attend a meeting at the Advanced Command Post at 10:30 today to analyze the evolution of the fire.
