Firefighters will maintain 30 endowments in the fire of Portbou (Girona) during the night of Sunday

   GIRONA, 6 Ago. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Generalitat Fire Department will maintain some 30 land crews during the night of Sunday in the forest fire that has been burning since Friday afternoon in Portbou (Girona), according to a statement.

Water trucks are deployed; members of the Forest Action Group (GRAF); Active Forest Prevention Teams (EPAF); light coordination and command vehicles and the medium command unit.

The fire has remained stable and there have been no restarts on Sunday and the Firefighters will propose this Monday "a phase change" towards considering it controlled.

"The north wind is blowing hard in the area and it is expected that towards nightfall it can still be strengthened, although at dawn the intensity is expected to loosen. For tomorrow's day the north wind is expected again in the area," they have detailed.

During Sunday, the Bombers have maintained an extinction device "that has been checking the perimeter to detect hot spots and finish them off."

The bombardment helicopter was unable to take off due to the strong tramontana wind, while the command helicopter, which supervises the terrain, was able to because it flies higher.
