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
since dawn on Sunday
are the largest fires.
In both, 500 hectares have already burned, an area close to which the flames have consumed in
Vilar de Barrio,
where the fire declared on Saturday morning in
Rebordechau
already affects 450 hectares.
In addition, four other forest fires remain active in the province of Ourense.
In A Gudiña, a fire declared on Saturday afternoon in Pentes has burned 150 hectares, according to the latest estimates;
