In the case of El Manzano firefighters remain stationed on the ground, although the flames were also contained.
The director of Civil Defense, Diego Concha, indicated in dialogue with Chain 3 that “the situation in Córdoba continues to be complicated mainly by meteorology”.
Concha also specified that in the Sierras Chicas, there is a fire outbreak in the “La Canchera” area, so “there are three fire crews working”.
“In Traslasierras, the fire in Salsacate is still active and there are 72 firefighters at the scene. In total, 11 people have had to be evacuated,” he explained.
Along these lines, he added: “At the moment, we cannot say how many hectares were burned because the fires are still active. In fact, we will have until Wednesday an extreme index of fire spread danger“.
