Despite the fact that more than a month has passed since the Sierra Bermeja fire started, which affected a total of 8,401 hectares out of seven municipalities on the Costa del Sol and Valle del Genal, hot spots still appear, such as stumps and roots smoking, that the troops that still remain in the area are in charge of suffocating. This gives an idea of the complexity and power of this fire, the first considered of sixth generation in the zone.
The INFOCA Plan maintains some 16 forest firefighters, together with an extinguishing fire engine, which are spread over several points in the affected area in tasks of auction and liquidation. The fire fighting device of the Junta de Andalucía recalls that the official status of this fire is that of “checked” and that has not yet been officially declared extinct.
