This Tuesday, drones from the Emergency and Rescue Group (GES) of the Government of the Canary Islands flew over the affected area, which covers some 14,700 hectares of pine forests and other tree masses with a perimeter of 90 kilometers, and recorded from the air the effects of the fire in the green lung of Tenerife, in the heart of the island.
In the images, numerous black spots can be seen in the forest mass, an unmistakable trace that the flames advanced there, as well as blackened pines with bare branches, a devastating landscape that will take a long time to fully recover.
At this time, an operation of 135 people on the ground and four helicopters (two from the Cabildo and two from the State) are still working on extinction.
