Spain has moved from the 'pre-emergency' phase to the 'state of alert and monitoring' and has ended the most difficult phase of the most tragic and devastating forest fire event in the recent history of the state : 93 fires have burned more than 300,000 hectares, four people have died and 48 have been injured.

This has been reported by the Director of Civil Protection and Emergencies, Virginia Barcones, at a press conference following the meeting of the State Coordination Commission (CECOD), which decided last night that the situation has improved enough to change phase. 



In the new state of permanent alert and monitoring established by CECOD, the Government will continue to coordinate and make available to the Autonomous Communities all the resources available for the fight against fires.
