, on an ascending scale that goes from zero to three, due to the fire affecting the railway infrastructure, the Ministry has reported Environment, Housing and Territory Planning of the Autonomous Government.

Two technicians, six environmental agents, three helicopters, three helicopter crews, three ground crews, two machinery checkpoints, five fire engines and the Rionegro Fire Brigade of the Zamora Provincial Consortium's Fire Brigade work on the extinction work.
