The fire remains active and without control in the municipality of Tàrbena, in the interior of the Alicante region of La Marina Alta. The flames may also affect the areas of Parcent and Xalò.
The temperatures recorded, the abrupt mountainous terrain and the large amount of forest mass are complicating the efforts to extinguish the fire. The Generalitat Emergencies have reported, around 7:00 p.m., that Murcia has been requested to incorporate a heliborne brigade. The agreement with the Red Cross has been put in place for the installation of a shelter,. in the Tàrabena culture center, so that people affected - whose number has not been specified - can spend the night in their facilities tonight. Some sources speak of more than a hundred people. The intensity of the fire and the rapid spread of the flames through the forest mass have led to the establishment of situation 2 of the Special Fire Plan. The Civil Traffic Guard has proceeded to cut off access to the fire area on the CV-715 highway.
