The canyon known as El Tajo de Los Vados, on the N-340 between Lobres and Vélez de Benaudalla, was again the scene of a climbing incident.
It was hardly a large fire but it did attract the attention of people on their balconies in flats facing across the mainroad in Salobreña.
At the moment the forest-firefighting entity, Infoca, is tackling a hillfire in the Sierra de Lújar area, within the municipality of Vélez-Benaudalla.
This time the accident occurred in Salobreña around 10.00h yesterday morning on the N-340 and involved a car, as well.
The Motril fire service dealt with a small fire next to the grounds of the Colegio Juan Ramón Jiménez, which is just below the main road in Salobreña.
A car caught fire on the main drag down to Salobreña beach during the late morning of Sunday – nobody was hurt.
Several inhabitants of a block of flats in Salobreña had to be temporarily evacuated after a fire broke out, gutting at least one apartment.
