The forest fire declared this Sunday near Mount Picaio in the municipality of Puçol (Valencia), which this afternoon has been reclassified as a forest fire in Sagunt, has been considered stabilized around 6:50 p.m., as reported by the Coordination Center of Emergencies of the Generalitat.
After 6:10 p.m., six of the seven aerial means that were working on extinguishing tasks have withdrawn, with the exception of the V-3 helicopter that continues its work to put out the fire.
The Minister of Justice and Interior, Elisa Núñez, who has traveled to the area where she held a meeting with the Fire Fighting Directorate, has assured that the evolution of the fire is "positive" and that the weather conditions are "favorable" so that "in a short period of time it can be controlled and, when the time comes, extinguished."
Núñez has highlighted that at this time more than 100 troops are working on the extinguishing work: "I would like to thank them for the great work they are doing and above all for the great speed they have had in going to the area to try to extinguish the fire. ".
The Emergency Coordination Center of the Generalitat has established situation 1 of the Special Plan Against the Risk of Forest Fires (PEIF). In addition, the '112 CV' has reported through its social networks that there are no preventive evictions, but has asked the population not to approach the fire area.
PEIF alert level 1 is established when an emergency situation caused by one or more forest fires may seriously affect forest assets or slightly affect the population and non-forest assets, for whose extinction it may be necessary to incorporate extraordinary means.
