Emergency services were mobilised yesterday morning, Tuesday May 7th, in Crevillent due to a fire that originated within a vehicle. The flames eventually spread to the pine forest adjacent to the road to Los Molinos. The dispatched teams’ prompt response was instrumental in the successful containment of the fire and the prevention of additional damage to this highly valuable forest area.
The blaze in the burnt-out vehicle was successfully extinguished by fire personnel from the Crevillent and Elche fire stations, thereby preventing the flames from spreading further into the surrounding countryside.
The fire, which caused alarm among residents due to the presence of sirens and visible smoke from various points in the municipality, has been stabilised as a result of a coordinated effort between firefighters, the Crevillent Local Police, the Guardia Civil, and forestry officers from the Valencia Regional Government.
The intervention was designed to prevent the fire from advancing to the pine forest that borders the Los Molinos trail, a region that is frequently visited by both tourists and residents. The prompt response brought the situation under control without any injuries.
