Firefighters battling a forest fire in Aiguamúrcia with smoke rising into the sky.

The Bomberos de la Generalitat have been working since Sunday afternoon on a new forest vegetation fire in Vall d’Infern, Aiguamúrcia (Tarragona), an area that already experienced a fire last Wednesday.

The fire alert was received at 3:57 PM, and currently, 75 personnel and 24 fire crews, six of them aerial, are working in the area. According to information provided by the Fire Department on the social network X, the fire is being driven by the sea breeze and is burning forest vegetation with "high intensity and ascending".
Among the deployed personnel are members of the Forest Action Group (Graf) and the Forest Active Prevention Team (Epaf), with support from the Forest Defense Groups (ADF) in the area.
This new fire occurs shortly after the one that started last Wednesday in Pla de Manlleu, also within the municipality of Aiguamúrcia, which firefighters have already brought under control.
