Preliminary investigations by the Rural Agents corps indicate that the origin of the fire could be linked to the use of an angle grinder in the area. These maintenance tasks may have triggered the flames that affected the agricultural land.
The Generalitat Firefighters maintain a device deployed on the ground to control the advance of the flames. Weather conditions, especially wind gusts, are hindering extinction operations.
The presence of wind has caused the appearance of several secondary hotspots around the main fire. This situation forces emergency teams to work simultaneously at different points to prevent the fire from spreading uncontrollably through the surroundings of the Gavarres.
