Castilla y León Aerial means return to the fire in Zamora, which is still out of control and has already led to the eviction of 14 towns
The Mossos d'Esquadra arrested a 25-year-old man
this Saturday morning
for allegedly
causing five forest fires in Navès
(
Lleida
).
The arrest occurs on the same day that
the Generalitat Firefighters are working to extinguish 30 fires
.
The
alleged perpetrator of the fires
has been
located through a joint device
between the Firefighters, Forest Defense Groups (ADF) and Rural Agents, according to a tweet from the Catalan police.
The Firefighters have reported that they are facing "a complicated situation"
this Saturday afternoon
with
thirty simultaneous forest fires in Catalonia
, the most important ones affecting the municipalities of
Artesa de Segre
(Lleida) and
Olivella
(
Barcelona
).
The last of the fires in which the firefighters work has broken out around three in the afternoon in
Saldes
(
Barcelona
), in the Pedraforca area, where seven ground crews are currently working.
In
Olivella
, according to the latest data provided by the Rural Agents, 95 hectares have burned so far.
Eight air assets (four small planes and four helicopters) and 42 ground crews are working on this fire, including 14 command vehicles and 28 trucks.
The Rural Agents and the Firefighters have asked the citizens not to go to the
Parc del Garraf
to facilitate the work against that fire in Olivella.
Fire in Artesa de Segre
The
Firefighters of the Generalitat
redouble their efforts in the
Artesa de Segre
(Lleida).
The
south wind that
has begun to blow complicates the tasks of extinguishing the fire, which
has already engulfed more than 2,000 hectares
, so the
Fire Department believes that they will not be able to consider it stabilized either on Saturday afternoon or tomorrow
.
In an appearance before the media at the control center of Artesa de Segre (Lleida), the delegate of the Government in Lleida,
Bernat Solé
, explained that the firefighters
are following the evolution of the wind with concern
, given that it
could "bring out" the front east of the fire
, which was "relatively under control" this morning.
"We cannot talk about stabilization of the fire and tomorrow it will be difficult to confirm it," Solé insisted, adding that the Artesa de Segre fire now concentrates the "maximum possible air and ground resources".
According to the person in charge of the extinction tasks, the
fire is "confined" in the axes that the Fire Department had marked
this morning as a goal, but the wind can give more force to the head of the fire and cause it to reopen, so Some areas of the perimeter have been carved to prevent the advance of the flames.
"We will have to work hard tonight
," acknowledged Miquel, who specified that the bulk of the troops are now working to stop the
two fronts that are still active
, one of them two kilometers long, half that of yesterday.
For this reason, the
objective of the firefighting teams is to "endure the day"
with the resources available to limit the lines of the active fronts, so it is important that another great fire does not break out in Catalonia, where most of the the community is at risk of fires due to the heat wave.
On the other hand, as reported by the
Fire Department of the Generalitat
, the
Lladurs fire
has been considered stabilized after burning
50 hectares
, which has prevented the advance of a fire that threatened to burn nearly 50,000 hectares of
forest mass
.
Meteorological conditions
In parallel, another
forest fire
is active that started in
Coll de Nargó
due to a lightning strike, while the
other fires caused
by an electrical storm,
Peramola
and
Cabó
, are already stabilized.
The fires in
Artesa de Segre
and those in the Solsonès region today mobilize 120 vehicles and
400
members of the Generalitat Fire Brigade, as well as 21 air vehicles and three bombers.
