Good news Sunday in the Bejís fire. The firefighters have managed to beat the fire and since past 8:30 p.m. it has been considered “stabilized.” This has been confirmed by the Minister of the Interior, Gabriela Bravo, after a new meeting with the Advanced Command Post deployed in Viver. For this Monday, 300 ground troops and a dozen aerial means will be maintained to control the devastated area, refresh the perimeter and stop any reproduction that may occur. This has been the latest good news on a Sunday in which the progress on a fire that has devastated more than 19,000 hectares has been confirmed little by little. As of this afternoon, all the roads affected by the fire have been reopened and the residents of Teresa, Sacañet and the villages of Andilla have been able to return to their homes. The neighbors have already been able to go to the Sanctuary of the Holy Cave to see how it has been saved from the flames of the fire.
Puig has already confirmed in the morning that «all people will be able to return from any municipality or district to their home. The situation of the Bejís fire is favorable within a very unfavorable day in terms of weather. The entire Valencian Community is today on high alert and a fire can occur anywhere due to the situation we are experiencing. That is why we want extreme caution. Despite the fact that people can return home, it is not the right time to travel along these roads, which are still in the midst of intense work by firefighters and would make it difficult to act in the face of some outbreaks that are taking place, especially in the El Toro area, where there are very hot spots«.

This is the state of the matter, a moderate optimism«.
The UME will maintain almost all the units until Sunday night, while several state planes have already left the area. “We are in the process of stabilizing”, he reiterated in the morning, “but the fire is still active. It is time to return to normality with caution. The perimeter is maintained and then we will see within the perimeter what has been burned and what has not. We have seen that within Bejís there are ‘islands’ that have not burned».
