Faced with requests for information from neighbors, the Javea Town Hall communicates why the fire has not yet been given as extinct, although is permanently controlled. City Council states that the charge of fire control are firefighters Park Denia and as indicated by effective, can not be extinguished by the very nature of the fire. "It is a fire that burns without oxygen inside the piles of organic matter and against which it is inefficient to throw water"Indicate firefighters.
"The water in this case only manages to create a crust on the outside of the fuel accumulation while the interior continues to burn"They said the Consistory. Moreover, according to the statement issued from the consistory, is not effectively remove the piles with heavy machinery to undo because, according to the Fire Department of Dénia, "the situation would not change and would return to the starting point. The very nature of the fire makes it inextinguishable until the accumulated fuel is consumed".
From City Hall to let burn affect Ramblars is not an arbitrary decision "It is backed by fire experts. In fact, the only option is to let the fuel run out in the coming days.". The City Council regrets the inconvenience but stresses that it is not negligence of anyone. This fire started 15 days ago by spontaneous combustion due to organic matter.
Thank you very much for the information and for contrasting it with the Dénia Fire Department. Before the note of the City Council of Xàbia and as neighbors affected by the smoke that originates this waste center every day and that accumulates at night and early morning throughout the valley, (it is already fifteen days burning), we must highlight how the Consistory does not speak, at any time, of the possible repercussions it may have on people's health and it seems that it does not worry about it, leaving all possible responsibility for what might happen to the Firefighters of the Marina Alta and their technical decision to leave it burn. Indeed, we should investigate because those responsible for control of the contract have left accumulate many more tons of those who played in Ramblars and have not followed up on the work of the company responsible for recycling it. By the way, we went twice to take photos of the landfill, one a week, and there was no kind of surveillance there.
