Seven fire engines from the Alcantarilla and Molina de Segura stations and a helicopter have been needed to control a fire that has originated in the Las Pedreras area of ​​Las Torres de Cotillas around four in the afternoon Friday 23 June.
"Presumably it has been caused by the burning of stubble from a neighbor who has been uncontrolled, affecting abandoned wooden pallets and causing a large fire that has alerted the surrounding neighbors who have been the ones who have given the alarm" , Explains Mayor Torreño, Domingo Coronado, who has come to the scene accompanied by the general director of Public Safety and Emergencies, José Ramón Carrasco, and his councilman of Police and Civil Protection, Gloria Fernandez.
The fire, which has not yet been completely shut down, has not affected any surrounding dwellings or caused personal injury.
To the area of ​​the event also have been displaced troops of the Local Police and of the Civil Protection body, who have collaborated in the work of control and extinction of the fire.
