Rosa Dávila explained that if the Government of the Canary Islands accepts the relocation proposal, the municipalities will notify the people affected of the conditions for returning to their homes, since the northern area of the island, especially those closest to the fire, has roads Difficult to access and two-way. Currently, there are a total of 12,000 people evacuated after the fire has burned 14,624 hectares in a perimeter of 88 kilometers, affecting a total of twelve municipalities.
The night from Monday to Tuesday was lived the first quiet nightafter seven days fighting against the fire, which has made it possible to hold a meeting organized by the island corporation to plan these relocations together with the mayors.
The criteria, Dávila said, are made “from prudence and criteria”, and from five o’clock this afternoon it is expected that they will be confirmed through the bulletins issued by the Technical Directorate of the Government of the Canary Islands.
“The situation has improved, but the fire is still active,” assured Rosa Dávila, who wanted to send a message of calm to the evacuees, so that they follow the instructions of the official authorities without collapsing the media and troops working in the land. The relocation, if approved, will take effect in the coming days.
