Overview
- Plan Infoca announced the fire that began on August 6 in Raboconejo, Niebla, is controlled after nearly two weeks of suppression efforts.
- Officials said firefighters faced eight to nine days of unprecedented extreme conditions and constant wind shifts that complicated ground and air operations.
- Authorities revised the estimated burned area to about 33,000 hectares after mapping found substantial unburned 'islands' inside the fire perimeter.
- The response combined regional Plan Infoca teams, the Junta de Andalucía, the Unidad Militar de Emergencias and local fire consortia, with logistics, health and social support for affected communities.
- A reduced retén of two water-tanker vehicles and 21 personnel remains on site to finish remate and liquidation and to secure the perimeter as damage assessments continue.
