in Villanueva de los Castillejos (Huelva), remains active and presents a complex evolution, as reported by the acting Emergency Minister of the Government of Andalusia, Antonio Sanz, from the advanced command post (PMA). The fire advanced very quickly due to wind gusts of up to 40 kilometers per hour, the high load of plant fuel—grass and brush—and a growth rate estimated at 200 hectares per hour during the first hours. The scope of action now exceeds 3,600 hectares, although Sanz has stressed that this figure is not equivalent to the burned area, but to the total area in which work is being done.
