They're still working to extinguish the fire in Imarkoain

During the night they managed to stabilize the fire, which has not yet been extinguished, and firefighters from the parks of Estella, Peralta and Tafalla are working on this task. 

PAMPLONA, 05/07/2026.- Un incendio declarado este domingo en una zona de cereal en Imárcoain, en el término municipal de Noáin (Valle de Elorz), ha obligado a cortar de forma preventiva la autopista AP-15 en ambos sentidos y a interrumpir el suministro eléctrico de la catenaria ferroviaria durante las labores de extinción. En el operativo participan efectivos de los parques de Bomberos de Cordovilla y Tafalla, la Brigada Helitransportada de Incendios Forestales (BHIF), dos helicópteros, dos aviones de carga en tierra del Ministerio para la Transición Ecológica y el Reto Demográfico (MITECO) con base en Agoncillo, guardas forestales, agentes de la Policía Local y de la Policía Foral, además de tractoristas.

In Imarkoain, work continues to extinguish the fire that broke out on Sunday afternoon in a cereal area just 10 kilometers from Pamplona.

SOS Navarra reported on Monday that today's efforts focus on the pine grove between Imarkoain and Beriain.

The Estella, Peralta and Tafalla Parks Brigades are working with their vehicles.

The Foral Police have launched an investigation into the causes of the fire, which began at 4.49 p.m., when a fire on a cereal farm was reported and spread rapidly into a forest mass, making control work difficult due to strong winds in the area.

The flames cut off electricity from the nearby railway catenary, affecting train traffic, and the AP-15 was also cut off, although both communications were restored last night.
