The fire in Miraflores de la Sierra is under control

The 112 Emergency service of the Community of Madrid has reported that the fire that started on Saturday in the Fuente del Cura area of ​​Miraflores de la Sierra is under control after the difficulties caused by the wind.

As reported by 112 through its social networks, the Firefighters of the Community of Madrid have considered the fire under control this Sunday.

The Community's forestry brigades worked hard throughout the night to finish off the perimeter of an event that burned nearly two hectares of land.

In the fire, needles basically burned, on very steep terrain, and the wind and the difficult access made the extinction work difficult, although it was not large. The smoke also caused the evacuation of several houses on Mimosa street.

The flames originated around 4:30 p.m. for reasons that are being investigated. 17 Fire Brigades and Forest Brigades from the Community of Madrid have worked to extinguish the fire, with seven aerial means.
