The Forest Fire Investigation Brigade (BIIF) considers that the “Los Guájares” fire in Granada could have been caused. The Andalusian Environment technicians have found the exact point where the fire started last Thursday. The first indications rule out that it could be lightning and it points to an intentional act or negligence. In addition to their methods, the agents have used some photos published on social networks that are helping to determine the causes of the fire. On Sunday at night the burned surface was around more than 4,000 hectares, and the active front is almost 40 kilometers. The smoke can be seen more than 40 kilometers away and is reaching the city of Granada, where the quality of the air has deteriorated. The firefighting personnel consider that the fire will take several days to go out, since there are sources that have been revived and were considered extinct.

It is expected that the rains that the DANA “Danielle” brings to the Peninsula can help put out the flames. 18 aerial means and 220 troops “There are still several days of fire left, we are still in very similar conditions to those of days ago”, David Rodríguez of the Forest Fire Extinction Service of Andalusia has indicated. The troops have been increased during the night due to the evidence that there were outbreaks that were being revived.
