The fire was eventually put out late last night. According to La Voz, 120 ha of scrub was burnt, in the “Los Murtales” region of the Sierra Cabrera (Turre). Guardia Civil, local police, local firefighters and 74 Infoca personnel fought against the flames, together with five helicopters and 4 planes.
Investigations are underway today to find out the cause of the fire. Infoca all took the opportunity to remind everybody that bbqs and open fires are now forbidden throughout Andalucia, also some parts of the natural forests are offlimits to vehicles.
