The Riglos fire is still alive in Huesca, but the flames have not reached the villages
The fire has already affected more than 15,000 hectares and 18 villages have been evacuated, while more than 600 firefighters and emergency workers are working to contain the flames.
The forest fire in Las Peñas de Riglos (Huesca), which is still active this Saturday and affects more than 15,000 hectares , has managed to keep the flames from spreading to urban centres and to protect both the town and the monastery of San Juan de la Peña.
It has been a particularly difficult night, and the fire has reached the areas of Santa María de la Peña, Triste, Yeste, Centenero, Binacua and Santa Cruz de la Serós.
The most complicated situation is in the area of Botaya and Atarés, where manual shutdown and heavy machinery work will be reinforced.
More than 600 people work
The operation will continue at the highest level this Saturday, with more than 600 personnel and between 30 and 35 air assets, with the aim of controlling fire resurfaces, strengthening fire perimeters and ensuring public safety.
According to the Government of Aragon, falling temperatures and rising humidity provide a "window of opportunity "for further extinction work over the next two days.
Operative calls for caution from volunteers
The Government of Aragon appreciates the cooperation of the volunteers, but calls on those who come to protect their land and homes to respect the security measures imposed by the emergency services, given the high influx of fire vehicles and the special situation on the roads.
