At the same time, civil protection technicians and the Director-General of the Ministry of the Interior, Salva Díez, continue to monitor the development of the fire and maintain constant contact with municipal officials in Navarre towns close to the fire and with the Civil Protection Services of Aragon.
Meanwhile, the Aragon Petilla is still evacuated as a precaution and the Sangüesa Foral Police are in the village to monitor the town centre and control access.
