The people evicted from the towns of Asín, Orés and Luesia are being treated in the Ejea de los Caballeros pavilion as a result of the forest fire declared in the Orés area. Some of the affected residents have also chosen to stay temporarily in the homes of relatives.
This has been explained to this media by the president of the Cinco Villas region, Santos Navarro, who stressed that according to the information they are being given «the fire is not yet perimetered and the evolution of its left flank is especially worrying, in the direction of the area of Uncastillo and Malpica de Arba».
According to the information transferred by the Military Emergency Unit (UME), «the wind is currently pushing the flames towards that sector and it is expected that this situation may continue until approximately 9:00 p.m.» However, Santos stressed that «the evolution will depend on local winds and possible changes in weather conditions».
In addition, the president of the region has detailed that «from 9:00 p.m., the entry of the cierzo could modify the direction of the fire and cause the fire to recede towards areas already affected». At this time, the Government of Aragón, has reported that the town of Uncastillo has been evicted.
19 air resources are participating in the extinguishing work, in addition to ground troops and other emergency resources deployed to try to contain the advance of the flames and protect nearby populations.
