Members of the Andalusian forest firefighting service, the Infoca Plan, have stabilized the fire in the area of ??Santa Margarita, a scrubland area in the municipality of La Línea de la Concepción (Cádiz), and which forced to the preventive eviction of homes located in the upper area of ??the Venta Melchor urbanization.
The fire stabilized at 7:22 p.m., although Infoca troops continue to work on the ground together with three teams from the Fire Department Consortium in the Province of Cádiz.
As published by Plan Infoca on Twitter, the first estimate suggests that the area affected by the fire is 150 hectares between urban and forest land.
This fire, declared around 12:30 p.m. on Tuesday, has been affected by the west wind, which is registering gusts of 50 km/h and which is expected to continue for the rest of the afternoon.
However, the fire has experienced little evolution in its main career due to its arrival on the beach, a non-combustible area, as Infoca has indicated in a message on Twitter.
The fire started in the urban area of ??Santa Margarita, which has caused the residents of the Venta Melchor urbanization to abandon their homes due to the proximity of the flames. In this regard, the La Línea City Council has activated its emergency plan to help affected residents with accommodation if necessary.
