• Bejís train The mayors asked three months ago to clean the track of the 'train from hell' of weeds

The Bejís

fire

gives no respite to the extinguishing services and continues to advance without control, ungovernable, after devastating 19,000 hectares.

With the flame active around the perimeter, there are two sides that are of particular concern because they have not lowered their intensity throughout the night.

This is the southeast front, which virulently burns the surroundings of

the Sierra Calderona Natural Park

, where this morning a latent lightning has caused another fire in

Olocau

, in the Castell area, which has forced the population to be confined for a few hours .

Despite the difficulty of access to the area, the firefighters have managed to suffocate it when it had burned three hectares and before there was any danger of it crossing the ravine and approaching the urban nucleus.

The other front that continues to rage is the one that surrounds the

Sanctuary of the Holy Cave

, in Altura, where the fire is still alive, fed by the winds and has had a "very virulent" behavior, as explained to the Minister of the Interior,

Gabriela Bravo

.

Since the early hours of this morning,

35 aerial resources

have been activated to try to contain the

150-kilometre perimeter

that this fire already has.

After the morning coordination meeting, the minister confirmed that the level of humidity has made the evolution of the fire "slower, except in the southeast, where ground and air resources are going to be concentrated," she explained.

The great activity that continues around the perimeter of the fire has made the authorities consider it impossible for the residents of

Bejís

,

Torás

,

Teresa

and

Sacañet

, as well as the three villages of Andilla that have been evicted, to return to their homes.

The confinement of Alcublas

and

Andilla

has not been lifted either

.

On the other hand, the fire in

La Vall d'Ebo

has been considered stabilized, which allows some of the resources that worked to extinguish it to be sent to Bejís.
