The flames have devoured more than 2,250 hectares in forest fires registered this Sunday in

Galicia.

Nine of them, all located in municipalities in the province of

Ourense,

continue to be active and uncontrolled a few hours after the aerial means have to withdraw due to nightfall.

In addition, the proximity of the flames to the nuclei of

Carzóa, in Cualedro, and Guillamil, in Rairiz de Veiga,

has forced the Xunta to decree the so-called 'situation 2' of emergency due to the proximity of the fire to inhabited nuclei.

The first estimates estimate the area affected by these fires at 60 hectares in the case of Rairiz de Veiga and 250 in that of Cualedro.

Members of the

Military Emergency Unit (UME)

have been deployed in both fires and also in

Lobios,

where a fire affects part of the

Baixa Limia-Serra do Xurés

natural park

.

Specifically, the flames were declared on Saturday afternoon in the parish of

Río Caldo.

In fact, according to the information provided by the

Ministry of Rural Affairs,

this fire and the one that affects

Vilariño de Conso
