The Government of Aragón has lowered the emergency level of the Tamarite de Litera forest fire after its stabilization on Saturday at 10:00.
The fire, which broke out on Friday in the municipality of Tamarite de Litera, has burned around 4,300 hectares. The decision to lower the Special Civil Protection Plan from Situation 2-Level 2 to Operative Situation 1-Level 1 was made during the CECOPI meeting.
Residents of Azanuy, Alins and Calasanz, evacuated since the fire advanced, will be able to return to their homes from 13:00. Councillor Roberto Bermúdez de Castro said the firefighting operation will remain active due to the risk from heat and wind.
The blaze started from a spark caused by a harvester. Another fire in Loarre, ignited by lightning, has already been declared extinguished. Road A-2216 remains closed to traffic.
