The firefighting teams are working to put an end to the six fires that mainly affect the province of Ourense. The Xunta assures that the majority are stabilized and the only one that they consider active is the one that affects the Ourense municipality of Laza. 24 hours ago the Galician administration said that the forecast for this fire is favorable and close to its control, but this circumstance has not yet occurred. The weather forecast announces rain for this Sunday in Galicia, a circumstance that could collaborate with some extinction work that has lasted for days.

As yesterday, the Department of Rural Affairs has assured that this fire is already “practically perimeter” and that “it is progressing favorably towards its stabilization”.
