The main concern in Carcastillo is the possibility of dry storms reaching the fire this afternoon

 Jon Diez de Eure, Fire Sergeant of Navarre, has explained to EITB that the fire in Carcastillo "cannot be considered controlled".

18:00 - 20:00

The fire that broke out on Saturday night in Carcastillo is still active and "cannot be considered controlled," said Navarra Fire Department Sergeant Jon Diez de Eure, who, in statements to EiTB, confirmed that "control work" continues and that there are currently "two hot spots" on which air assets are working.

Diez de Euré has pointed out that "there is no danger to the population" and that the night has allowed progress to be made in the control work: "Conditions have improved and we have taken advantage of it to work the perimeter, the work has borne fruit", yet he has warned that the forecast is to continue intervening "all day and all night".

Eight ground brigades with self-bomb vehicles and eight air assets, "mainly helicopters", are currently participating in the operation, which will remain in the area throughout the day.

The main concern is the forecast of dry storms in the afternoon. "The danger is lightning falls, and if it doesn't rain, they can create new spotlights, "the sergeant explained.

In addition, it has reported another related phenomenon, the thermal explosion, which produces downward hurricane winds. "If it affects a fire, it will spread in all directions," it has warned.
