Both sides of the road that leads to Vall d'Ebo from Pego are constantly burning. As confirmed by the Pego Town Hall, the area of Ambra and Creu de Boix has been at serious risk since this afternoon. For its part, the Alicante Provincial Firefighters Consortium confirms that the devastated hectares increase to 11.000 and the perimeter currently burned is 80 km.
Today's weather forecasts already predicted disaster due to uncontrollable wind, which made it difficult to plan action. At around 18:30 p.m., the local authorities were waiting for the action of the firefighters. Right now helicopters and planes unload on the flames with night about to fall.
The emergency teams are not enough, so much so that the Oliva and Gandia Firefighters arrive to help the teams in the Marina Alta. The three determining factors that worsened the fire situation from the beginning, the difficult orography, the temperature and the wind, have not improved since then.
In the last few hours, after evicting the residents of the Verdales urbanization, the Ambra area has also been evacuated. Approximately 50 people in total were leaving their homes in Pego. On the other hand, in Benimassot, in the Comptat region, the fire arrived at noon, so the entire municipality has also been evicted.
