Infoca was busy yesterday tackling a fire in the Órgiva area of the Alpujarras, which affected meadows and other riverside vegetation.
The fire was next to the Río Guadalfeo and was reported around 16.00h on Saturday and required 16 firefighters, a fire truck and a helicopter to bring it under control, which was achieved by 19.00h. The fire was declared ‘extinguished’ by nightfall.
Fortunately, there is an Infoca base within the municipality. The nearby Tablones base has helicopters stationed there and fully equipped ground forces.
