A hill fire broke out early this morning near Órgiva requiring the presence of Infoca personnel to stop it spreading and then to put it out.
In a normal year the fire season runs from the 1st of June and ends on the 15th of October, but this year it’s still abnormally warm and dry.
The Junta has recommended that all firework displays be cancelled because of the present heatwave and the acommpanying high risk of fire.
