SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, Aug. 2 (EUROPA PRESS) –
An outbreak of forest fire has been declared this afternoon in an agricultural area in the municipality of El Rosario, on the island of Tenerife, as reported by the Cabildo.
The fire originated in Las Rosas street, in La Esperanza, and has generated a significant column of smoke, so the necessary emergency resources have been activated immediately.
Land and air resources from the Cabildo de Tenerife, members of the Firefighters Consortium and air resources from the Government of Spain have traveled to the site.
It should be remembered that the General Directorate of Security and Emergencies of the Government of the Canary Islands maintains the alert situation due to the risk of forest fires in Tenerife since Monday.
Consequently, the Cabildo activated grade 1 measures for the prevention of forest fires, such as the prohibition of the cultural use of fire and recreational use, among others.
