The forest fire in Llanteno (Álava) is under control this Sunday, but the extinction work continues for the total extinction of the fire, according to sources from the Álava Council.

The fire has burned down an area of about 100 hectares , and in recent days numerous resources have had to be mobilized to put out the fire, including firefighters, forest brigades, forest guards and air assets.

They've reduced the resources of the fire department.

Fire fighters from Llodio, Nanclares and Espejo, the Agricultural Brigade of the Provincial Council of Álava, Agroforestry and two brigades from Medina de Pomar (Burgos) and Cantabria participated in the fire.

The fire brigade has also been assisted by five helicopters to extinguish the flames from the air.

The development of the fire has improved considerably, with the gradual withdrawal of resources from Medina de Pomar and Cantabria, and the withdrawal of air assets from the Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge (Miteco) , with a total of four helicopters.

Total extinction work continues.

Although the fire is under control, extinction work continues this Sunday to avoid the risk of total extinction and reignition.
