The change of wind course gives a certain respite in the Degaña fire
A dozen aerial media, including four hydravions, work from the first hours in the highest area of the fire that runs between Anllares del Sil, in León and Degaña, in Asturias, a front of several kilometers that advanced during the night, but in which the change of direction of the wind has given some respite.
As noted by the Emergency Management Minister of the Principality, Alejandro Calvo, around 1:00 p.m. began the wind from South to North component, which has made the situation “It has improved slightly.”
The southern dry wind pushed the fire towards the Asturian slope and caused the flames to reach areas of summit, on the border between Asturias and León, which is where all the aerial means are focusing their efforts.
In the Valley, in the Leonese slope, where the Firefighters from Navarra are acting, the front “is endured,” said the counselor, which has moved to the advanced command post that has been placed in Degaña.
