The mountains and terrains are very dry and, as we have said time and time again, currently there is a very high fire risk.Â
But on New Year’s Eve, still there were thoughtless people risking damage and lives. It is a fashion that does not fit well in a drought climate situation and with forests that are suffering from severe water shortage.
The first, which began just one minute after the start of 2024, was announced in Calpe.
The second, which began six minutes after entering the new year, was more worrying. It was declared at the Sant Antoni de Xà bia. The flames were noticed immediatley near the viewpoint and the lighthouse. Firefighters, the Local Police and the Civil Guard attended but luckily the wind was mild and the flames were controlled and extinguished quickly.
