Resources are deployed to extinguish fires in Extremadura: danger levels activated

The Extremadura Forest Fire Fighting Plan (Infoex) has declared level 1 of danger in two forest fires that have broken out in the region. The first of them, started in the town of Casas de Don Pedro, in Badajoz, has required the mobilization of 55 personnel to combat the flames. This fire has led to the deployment of nine ground units, three air units, a heavy machinery team, and a Technician in the affected area. Simultaneously, level 1 has been activated in a forest fire in Badajoz, where 19 personnel are working hard to extinguish the fire. In this case, two ground units, an air unit, a Natural Environment Agent, and a Technician have been deployed as part of the efforts to contain the flames and protect the flora and fauna of the region. The declaration of level 1 of danger in both fires is in response to the magnitude of the flames and the need for additional resources to address the situation. Infoex has implemented all necessary measures to control and extinguish the fires, prioritizing the safety of the firefighting teams and the population near the affected areas. The work of the personnel deployed in Casas de Don Pedro and Badajoz is crucial to combat the forest fires and prevent them from spreading to other areas. Coordination among the different emergency services and a rapid response to these situations are key to minimizing the damages caused by the fire. Given the serious situation caused by these forest fires, it is important to remember the importance of prevention and awareness of the risk of fires in forest areas. Citizen collaboration in reporting possible fire sources and adherence to prevention rules are essential to avoid tragedies like the ones we are witnessing in Casas de Don Pedro and Badajoz. Authorities have urged the population to take extra precautions and follow the instructions of emergency services in case of fire. The safety of citizens and the protection of the natural environment must be a priority in such situations, where the rapid spread of fire can have devastating consequences. Teamwork and coordination among the different units deployed in Casas de Don Pedro and Badajoz are key to ensuring an effective response to forest fires. The bravery and effort of firefighters, forest agents, and other personnel involved in extinguishing tasks are worthy of recognition and gratitude from society. We hope that the prompt action of emergency teams and the collaboration of citizens will allow the control and extinguishing of the forest fires in Casas de Don Pedro and Badajoz, preventing irreparable damage to our natural heritage. Prevention, awareness, and solidarity from everyone are essential to protect our forests and prevent tragedies like the ones we are currently witnessing in Extremadura.
