Efforts to contain the fire focused on controlling the blaze that started on Thursday in a mountainous and rugged region, with hundreds of firefighters and helicopters involved. Fortunately, there have been no casualties so far, and firefighting operations are currently underway under weather conditions favorable to battling the flames. This incident comes as a new heatwave is expected to push temperatures above 45 degrees Celsius in some areas.
