Renfe has assured that before the departure of the Valencia-Zaragoza medium-distance train, in which a dozen people were injured as it passed through the vicinity of the Begís forest fire, in the province of Castellón, no authority had informed it of the existence of a fire near the railway line. The railway infrastructure manager (Adif) authorized the departure of the train from Valencia station at 4:22 p.m. because “he was not aware of any incident on the track in the area.” “No one notified the infrastructure manager of a possible incident on the road,” Renfe reported in a statement. At around 5:54 p.m., the driver stopped the convoy when observing “an intense rain of ashes and smoke” and contacted the post command to ask if there was a fire in the vicinity. The command post informed him that he was unaware of this information “both at that time and at the time of the train’s departure from Valencia.” The protocol establishes that the authority, operator or manager of the infrastructure that first detects an incident on the track must communicate it to the rest so that measures can be taken in accordance with the circumstances, and according to Renfe it is the security forces and bodies who must request the suspension of circulation because “they are the ones who are aware of incidents in the environment that affect the road” .During the conversation with her superior, the driver notices that there are flames in the vicinity and announces that she is going to change cabin and go back, a decision that is authorized by the command post, which tells her to drive to Caudiel, where they will be mobilized security forces and health services. In the process of changing the cabin, situations of tension and alarm occur inside the train among the 49 passengers traveling in the convoy because several of them want to leave the train and they do so despite the driver’s warnings that it is not safe. When some passengers break the emergency windows with the males, the fire-fighting and automatic brake systems are activated , which forces the driver to rearm the train to restart the march and go back, which delays the start of the operation. According to the version of Renfe, which has opened an internal investigation to clarify the facts, at 18.20 the driver resumes the march, picking up people who are running near the road in the direction of Caudiel, some of them with burns of various kinds. The statement ensures that neither Adif nor Renfe received “any notification of a possible incident on the road or that the area was in eviction by no agency. Nor were they informed that the conditions of the fire changed drastically compared to the morning, when a Renfe Media Distancia train traveled the same route (Valencia-Zaragoza) without detecting any anomaly on the track.” The first communication that Adif receives about complications in circulation due to the fire comes from the driver, who first detects smoke and ashes in the area and then the proximity of the fire.Adif and Renfe assure that they have complied with the internal protocol, which states that the first to know, both in terms of direct and indirect, of alterations in the traffic conditions on the road must notify the other to activate the prevention and action mechanisms.
