We are working to complete the information... 

A forest fire declared last Friday in the Navarre town of Urzainki has reignited as a result of lightning, which is why extinction work has resumed, as reported on Tuesday by SOS Navarra, which nevertheless makes it difficult for ground brigades operating in the area, two in Cordovilla, one in Tafalla and one in Sanguesa, to enter.

The fire started on Friday afternoon, stabilized on Saturday and was brought under control on Sunday, but restarted on Monday afternoon. 

In support of ground personnel, the three helicopters of the Government of Navarre have been mobilized, and from the Government of the State, MITECO has mobilized two helicopters, as well as members of the Environmental Nursery, Civil Protection Technicians and Foral Police patrols.

Due to the development of the fire, the Government of Navarre activated Operational Situation 2 of the Special Civil Protection Plan for Forest Fires (INFONA) on Tuesday.
