The Bomberos de la Generalitat (Firefighters of Catalonia) have reported that the forest fire in Senet, within the municipality of Vilaller (Alta Ribagorça), remains active and far from being stabilized, despite recent rainfall.

Although a storm on Monday helped reduce the fire's intensity, the flames persist. The fire has already consumed 75 hectares, four more than the previous day. Emergency teams are working diligently to prevent the fire from spreading to the Boí Valley or the Aigüestortes i Estany de Sant Maurici National Park.
Firefighters have reiterated their request for mountain activity participants to avoid the affected area to ensure the safety of both the personnel and themselves. Unstable weather conditions and difficult terrain access, coupled with the risk of falling rocks or burning logs, hinder the fire's stabilization efforts.
Throughout the night, firefighters have continued to monitor the fire's progress and have remained vigilant regarding weather forecasts, including the possibility of new fronts arriving this Tuesday.
