\n Faced with this scenario, the Emergency Coordination Center has raised the situation to level 2 and an Es-Alert has been sent to the affected population. For those displaced, two facilities have been prepared: l’Alqueria del Basket, which was already set up for the 2024 storm, and la Fonteta de Sant Llu\u00eds.<\/p>\n

\n “In the first tower we evacuated 30 people as a precaution due to possible smoke inhalation; in the town of El Saler we evacuated about 120 people and at the campsites we are still moving people to la Fonteta and Alqueria del Basket,” explained Mar\u00eda Jos\u00e9 Catal\u00e0, mayoress of Valencia.<\/p>\n

\n David Roca, head of the Valencia Fire Department, has expressed optimism about the possibility of controlling the fire soon and has calculated that the burned hectares amount to approximately 48, although this figure is not official and the cause of the fire is unknown.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"You might be interested in Holaluz: what happened to the ‘rooftop revolution’?
