This quite large deployment ensured that the flames did not reach nearby housing nor got so close to the A-7 (kilometer point 353) that it would have had to be closed down because of the smoke generated.
The fire was reported at 15.50h to 112 in the area known as the Eagle Peak. Besides calling out Infoca, the emergency, call center also alerted the Civil Guard, Motril Fire Service, plus the Local and National Police.
