After seven days of intense fire-fighting, the regional emergency service finally declared the worst forest fire in the region in six years ‘extinguished’ on Sunday evening.
At 20.00, the Valencian fire service made the statement after the forest blaze had destroyed 3,270 hectares of forestland since last Monday in six towns (Gandía, Llutxent, Pinet, Ador, Barx and Quatretondenta).
