The fire extinguishment work in Carcastillo (Navarre) continues, but although the firefighters have failed to extinguish it completely, it has been limited and stabilized since yesterday. The firefighters, assisted by 2 helicopters, are monitoring and soaking the area to prevent it from re-igniting. 

Sos Navarra has recalled that the whole of Navarre is at the highest risk of fire, and although they will continue to work on the extinction of the fire by air and ground, it has stated that  "The weather conditions are still very bad" because of the high temperatures  and the low humidity of the terrain. In this context, they have extended the call for caution to prevent any activity that may cause a fire.

The spokeswoman for the Navarre Government and Counsellor for the Interior, Public Service and Justice, Amparo Lopez, said yesterday that although they are "investigating" how the fire originated, "we are aware that the fire was caused by human action".
