Thirteen air units are working on a forest fire in Ortells that forces a road closure A new forest fire has alerted authorities in the town of Ortells, in the municipality of Morella, in the province of Castellón. Up to thirteen air units, three fire brigade teams from the Provincial Consortium of Castellón, ten units of forest firefighters from the Generalitat, and a helitransported brigade from the Forest Fire Reinforcement Brigades (BRIF) of Daroca are working diligently to extinguish the flames that have threatened the area. According to information provided by the Castellón firefighters, the vegetation fire has spread to reach a pig farming facility, seriously affecting the premises. Due to the rapid evolution of the flames, the deployment of teams, especially air units, has had to be increased to combat the forest fire and control its advance. The Emergency Coordination Center of the Generalitat has activated level 1 of the Special Forest Fire Plan (PEIF), indicating the possibility of serious damage to forest assets, and to a lesser extent, the population and other non-forest assets could be impacted by the flames. This situation has raised concerns in the community and mobilized authorities to act promptly. Furthermore, the Directorate General of Traffic has announced the total closure in both directions of the CV-14 road, from Forcall to Ortells, due to the smoke produced by the forest fire. This measure has been taken to safeguard the safety of drivers and prevent possible accidents in the area affected by the fire. The forest fire in Ortells has generated a significant mobilization of resources and coordinated work among different emergency teams to extinguish the flames and protect both the vegetation and nearby infrastructures. The rapid spread of the fire has complicated the extinguishing efforts, prompting the collaboration of air and ground units to control the situation. Adverse weather conditions, with high temperatures and strong winds, have contributed to the expansion of the forest fire in Ortells, hindering extinguishing tasks and increasing the risk of flames spreading to inhabited areas. Faced with this scenario, emergency teams have redoubled efforts to contain the fire and prevent major damage in the region. Local solidarity and support have been felt amidst the emergency, with neighbors and volunteers assisting in prevention tasks and supporting the emergency teams deployed in the area. Concern for people's safety and the conservation of the natural environment have been the main drivers behind the response to the forest fire in Ortells. Authorities continue to closely monitor the evolution of the fire and work in a coordinated manner to ensure the protection of the population and the natural heritage in the affected area. It is expected that, with the joint effort of all involved, the forest fire in Ortells will be controlled, avoiding major consequences for the environment and the people living in the region. Amid the uncertainty and tension caused by the forest fire in Ortells, the quick and coordinated response of emergency teams and the solidarity of the community have emerged as fundamental pillars to address the situation and work on extinguishing the flames. The hope of containing the fire and protecting the affected area remains, while awaiting improved weather conditions to facilitate extinguishing tasks and prevent new fire outbreaks in the region.
