A fire broke out on Tuesday afternoon across an area of vegetation in the village of Aliko, in the Municipality of Finiq, burning trees and shrubs and bringing danger close to the residential area. According to reports from the scene, the flames caused concern for homes located near the seat of the fire.
Flames spread near the residential area
The fire broke out over a considerable area of vegetation in Aliko, where trees and shrubs were burned. The rapid spread of the flames turned the situation into an alarm for families living nearby.
According to reports from the scene, intervention was considered necessary to stop the fire from advancing toward homes.
Firefighters and local residents on the ground
Firefighting forces from the Municipality of Finiq were engaged in the operation, working to contain and extinguish the flames.
Residents of the area also joined efforts to keep the fire away from houses, helping with the intervention on the ground.
The fire was brought under control
After the intervention, the fire was brought under control and extinguished, preventing further spread toward the residential area.
So far, no damage to homes or injuries have been reported.
The preliminary toll indicates a considerable burned area with trees and shrubs in the Aliko area.
The case once again draws attention to the vulnerability of areas near homes when vegetation fires spread quickly and intervention often relies in part on residents themselves.
