What matters here
Official instruction
- Emergencias 112 Andalucía (Junta de Andalucía) published a reopening notice for this place (Mon 14 Sept, 20:11). Follow its exact wording below.
Confirmed
- EMA · Plan INFOCA lists an incident near this place with the status “ESTABILIZADO” (confirmed 18:06; first reported Sun 13 Sept, 12:38).
- No satellite heat has been detected near this place in the last 48 hours. Cloud or smoke can hide a fire from a pass.
- The official list still shows that fire as “ESTABILIZADO”. Satellites saw it burn within the area of this place, so it still counts in the index by its status and that distance — not as fire nearby.
- EMA · Plan INFOCA lists 6 aircraft, 6 vehicles and 8 crews assigned to the incident (18:06). Assigned resources show that work is under way; they do not measure how severe the fire is. They are not counted in the index because the fire is not active.
- An incident that affected earlier evidence has been declared extinguished by the authorities.
- A mapped burned area lies nearby. Burned-area maps show where fire has been, not where it is now.
- A mapped burned area lies nearby. Burned-area maps show where fire has been, not where it is now.
