Overview
- A vegetation fire broke out on the Costa Verde cliffs at Parque Domodossola, producing a large column of smoke visible across Miraflores on Sunday.
- More than ten fire units responded and the incident was classified as a code 2 event, with crews working from both the upper and lower parts of the cliffs using cisterns and ground brigades.
- Municipal personnel evacuated park visitors and nearby residents and closed access to the area, disrupting traffic on the coastal route and affecting people heading to nearby polling sites.
- A helicopter assessed the scene but did not perform a water drop because officials warned that applying large volumes of water could weaken the cliff and trigger a landslide.
- The origin of the blaze remains under investigation and social media supplied early images and reports; the fire’s proximity to Larcomar, the teleférico and residences raises continued safety and access concerns for the area.
