However, as explained mediated by El Periódico, the regional government had recommended not to carry out this type of work during this period of high temperatures. For its part, the company ensures that the contractor had the necessary permits, issued by the local authorities. And that its contractors follow the precautionary measures recommended during the drought.
As a result, the flames ravaged 14,000 hectares of forest and caused the evacuation of more than 1,700 people in five Spanish municipalities – Moros, Villalengua, Alhama d’Aragón, Castejón de Armas and Bubierca.
They will reforest 200 hectares and burn at least 1,000 50-year-old pines
The mayor of Bubierca did not hide his anger. “They will reforest 200 hectares and burn at least 1,000 50-year-old pines“, did he declare with the Aragonese newspaper Heraldo.
An anger all the stronger because – as the newspaper explains – Land Life is accused of being the cause of another fire, which occurred a month earlier. “On June 20, the same company, carrying out the same work, caused another fire in the area, which burned 20 hectares. Despite this, he continued to work there“, can we read in the Heraldo.
