Road N-634 has been opened in Iurreta after being closed for several hours due to the fire at the Smurfit Kappa bin

The road has been opened just before 8:00. The firefighters have been working on the extinction work all night. The Iurreta City Council will assess air quality today as a preventive measure.

As the flames were close to the road, the road had to be cut in both directions.

The N-634 road has been opened in both directions, passing through Iurreta (Bizkaia), after beingcut off for about 14 hours , according to the Basque Government's Department of Security. Yesterday afternoon a fire broke out in the trash can of the company Smurfit Kappa, which, due to its proximity to the road, closed the road.

The fire started at 5:30 in a few coils that were piled up outside the factory. The flames spread rapidly and there were moments of tension because there's a gas tank next door. 

The firefighters managed to control the fire and, as a precaution, the Ertzaintza cut traffic in both directions. The Iurreta toll at the AP-8has been opened for free. EGON.

The fire burned 50 paper coils and the induced\u00A0 ash reached the surrounding villages . 

As a burnt paper, the Iurreta City Council reported that the released particles were not harmful to health and that the Department of Health  "All measurements made were correct." However, more measurements will be carried out today as a precaution.
