The Generalitat Firefighters are working this Sunday on the control and extinction of a forest fire in Montargull, in an area close to the hermitage of Sant Jaume and Sant Marc de Fórnols. The alert was received at 10:24 in the morning and since then an operation has been activated to contain the fire.
Deployment of seven units
In the extinction tasks, seven fire brigades have been mobilized, among them an aerial asset, which participates in the on-site operation. The action focuses on stopping the evolution of the fire and securing the affected perimeter at this point of the forest environment.

Emergency services have also specified that there is no wind, a circumstance that favors the fire control efforts and reduces, for now, the risk of rapid spread. At this time, personnel continue working in the Montargull area to completely extinguish the fire.
