Alhama de Almería (Almería), 4 (Europa Press)
The Infoca has reported that the forest fire declared in the early hours of this Saturday in El Pocico, Huércal de Almería, has been stabilized at 8:00 p.m.
As details in its profile in ‘X’ (before Twitter) the service itself, a fire is considered stabilized when, without being controlled, “it evolves favorably by not presenting active fronts that make the fire advance freely.”
Given his danger, the Andalusian counselor Antonio Sanz activated late this Saturday, at 22.37 hours, the pre -emergence phase, Operational situation 0, of the emergency plan in the face of the risk of forest fires in Andalusia. The advance of the wind and the land itself, of a mining and high water stress, already made it difficult to stabilize the fire.
The delegate of the Board in Almería, Aránzazu Martín, transferred this Sunday that “there was at any time any danger for nearby populations” on the previous day, although the Civil Guard evicted as a preventive measure to about twenty people in Gádor. The origin of the fire, he explained, is due to a dry storm that downloaded a series of rays in the Sierra de Huércal de Almería.
For control tasks, Infoca has transferred that five forest fire groups work, two operations technicians, two environmental agents and the director of the Provincial Operational Center of Almería and a pumper truck. The device prepared for this day has been made up of more than 150 professionals and three aerial media.
Together, these were three helicopters (one semi -sheds and two superpumas), three pumper trucks, 14 forest fire groups, four fire reinforcement brigades (Brica), five operations technicians, a special supervision cash, two logistics and three environmental agents, as well as a medical forest fire unit (UMIF).
Already on Saturday afternoon, until the entrance of the night, the device was made up of more than a hundred people: eight forest fire groups, four fire reinforcement brigades (Brica), five operations technicians, three environmental agents, three helicopters (a semi -display and two superpuma) and a pel -bomb truck.
