The fall of an electric line pole could be the source of the fire in Almeria
The flames have spread very rapidly, and as a result, the routes by which several citizens wanted to escape have become "mousetrap".
The Andalusian adviser for the Presidency, Health and Emergencies, Antonio Sanz, said on Friday that the power line was the source of the firethat broke out this Thursday in Los Gallardo (Almería).
The President of Andalusia, Juanma Moreno, also referred to the same hypothesis and said that "responsibilities"will be required of those responsible.
On the other hand, Red Eléctrica has stated that the high voltage line that caused the fire is not its property, while Endesa has specified that the technicians went to the site at 2 a.m. and specified that it is not a facility of its company or an element of its distribution network.
Roads turned into "mousetrap"
The flames have spread rapidly, precipitated by the wind and the dry forest mass and the fire has become a deadly trap for at least eleven people, while nineteen others are missing.
According to Moreno, many neighbors, who know the area and the roads, have tried to escape in search of a "natural solution," but this has become a "mousetrap" on some roads because the flames have progressed rapidly.
In addition, they have found in the vicinity rods used for hiking , which are supposed to belong to people who have been caught in flames as they roam the mountains.
It's hard to get there.
The affected area has an abrupt orography, with scattered houses and numerous cortijos, as well as numerous ravines that make it difficultfor heavy flame fighting machines to enter.
In this context, Sanz has ruled out that this is a sixth-generation fire, an extreme fire capable of producing its own weather conditions.
However, an area of 3,150 hectares has already been burned, with 464 workers working in the area with 124 vehicles, including 21 teams with 150 firefighters and nine trucks.
In addition, there is the Military Emergency Unit from Morón de la Frontera (Seville), which has 64 members, 12 self-driving vehicles and two nurses.
