The fire in Llanteno is stabilized and firefighters are monitoring and cooling

Although the situation has improved, there are still hot spots and work is continuing on the fire brigade in Vitoria-Gasteiz and Espejo. Ayala City Council has asked the public not to approach the fire area so as not to hinder the work of the fire brigade.
VITORIA, 14/08/2026.- Los bomberos han logrado perimetrar el incendio forestal reavivado este jueves en el concejo de Llanteno (municipio de Ayala, Álava), que ha obligado a desalojar cuatro caseríos, y han estabilizado el flanco oeste, el más próximo a Artziniega. Fuentes de la Diputación de Álava han explicado que los equipos de extinción trabajan ahora en estabilizar el flanco este del incendio, el más cercano al municipio de Amurrio. EFE/ Adrián Ruiz Hierro
Firefighters, these days, in the anvil Llanteno.

They have begun to breathe in the Llanteno area, where the fire that has caused great concern over the past week is already stabilized. It is not quite extinguished, but "it is good news that it is not getting any worse," the mayor of Ayala, Pruden Otegi, has acknowledged to Orain.eus

As he explained, there are no longer any flames, but "there are still points at 100 degrees Celsius," mainly tree stumps, and as the wind could cause sparks to reignite, the Vitoria and Espejo firefighters continue to work on surveillance and cooling.

The fire broke out on Monday of last week and, although it was soon controlled, it was revived on Thursday . After the weekend perimeter and control of the flames, most of the resources and fire brigades that have been working there have been gradually withdrawing. The fire has burned down an area of about 100 hectares .

From the Aira City Council they call on the public not to approach the fire site, not to interfere with the work of the firefighters who are still working. 

In addition, according to the Basque Government, the A-3634was cut off by fire, although the City Council has been urged to exercise caution in the vicinity.
