"On the third day of the fire in the granadella"Sun Summit, it is still active and is not yet controlled", So with these words he has told us this morning, javea.comThe head of the firehouse, Javier Fayos. Fayos at a time waiting for WFP, said that the fire is not yet stabilized, as explained to us, "This morning the perimeter was flown over with the head of the local police in Xàbia, José Antonio Monfort, and some hot spots have been located ", Which have displaced fire units accompanied by the local police.
The head of the Fire explains the complexity of the work yesterday, "and it is that due to the thermal load and the heat, the airplanes threw water and evaporated before arriving at the ground". Fayos indicates that "Even if 20 had come more aircraft we would not have achieved anything". About the problems they had in the evictions, he tells us that people of advanced age did not want to leave the houses, "there were people with disabilities, others with Alzheimer's". Javier Fayos recounts one of the anecdotes and tells us that making a round to see the situation together with the head of the Local Police, José Antonio Monfort, and the councilor, Jose Luis Luengo, they meet an elderly man who had his wife and the dog at home, "It was surrounded in flames, I took a wet sheet and covered the lady, I tried to take the dog but she hid under the bed, between the three we got the lady in the car with the husband to WFP"This morning he confirmed that the dog had died.
Also, from javea.com, we have had the opportunity to see and see first-hand, the situation of the burned areas and the outlook is bleak. We have been to Cap Martí, Camí Vell de Granadella, Pinosol and Pinomar. The most striking thing is the porch of a house in the Cap Martí area, specifically, in La Vinya street, completely burned together with a car, a caravan and several bicycles. This house was recently built and was barely a month old.
A complex situation where many plots have been burned and in some of them, smoke was still visible. By midmorning, the neighbors who were slowly returning to their homes, accompanied by volunteers from the Red Cross and Local Police, did not know if the insurance would pay them for the damage caused, even waiting if they declared a catastrophic area.
Fayos has stated that during the morning of Tuesday, they have had an aerial medium in the regional park, the Alpha 2 and the hottest point was in the Benitatxell area, where they have moved 10 fire trucks in line to protect homes from the top del Sol. In the Cala de La Granadella area, two fire trucks have been placed to protect the dwellings. "Houses burned as such there but if the fire has reached the facades". Inside the greatness of the fire had not been no human fatalities. Fortunately, in the park perimeter and Pinosol Hotel Pinosol I had a couple of burned palm trees and a perimeter of the plot only burned. All in all a great catastrophe that has been described by the head of the regional government, Ximo Puig, as "environmental terrorism".
