The Department of Security of the Basque Government has, at 17:10 this Monday, moved to declare Situation 0 of the Special Emergency Plan for the Risk of Forest Fires in Euskadi, following the positive evolution of the forest fire that began this early morning in the municipality of Zaldibia in Gipuzkoa province.
As the Basque Executive has pointed out, the scenario has been improving over the last few hours and, at this moment, only the forest area remains at risk, with no threat to other material assets or to the population.
Thanks to this favorable evolution, the Provincial Council of Gipuzkoa has lowered its Foral Action Plan to Situation 1, which has also made it possible to reduce the emergency level of the Special Plan of an autonomous nature.
The teams of the Emergency Attention Services of Euskadi will continue to be deployed in the area, carrying out the necessary firefighting tasks until the complete elimination of the fire in the town in Gipuzkoa province is achieved.
