Teams from Andalucía’s specialist forest firefighting brigade, Plan Infoca, are tackling a blaze that broke in the municipality of Ojén, near Marbella, on the Costa del Sol at around midday this Tuesday afternoon, 1 February.
Firefighters on the ground are being supported by two helicopters working specifically in the Cordobachina area. The work is being made difficult by the wind with gusts reaching up to 30 kilometres per hour.
Forty-two forest firefighters, two operations technicians, an environmental agent, two fire engines and two transport and extinction helicopters (KA-40 and MA-40) are on the scene, since circumstances have required the expansion of the crews initially deployed to the area.
Update: At 6pm Infoca declared the fire was considered stablised and crews were working to control it.
