Tenerife on fire again

[Janet]

Well the Guardia Civil clearly think it's arsonists otherwise they wouldn't have set up checkpoints ... but they're not catching them ..... 

[Janet]

 Both the La Esperanza and Los Rodeos fires are under control. The La Orotava one is currently being stabilized. The TF-24 has been reopened.

All three north Tenerife fires are now officially under control. In total, 16 hectares were affected.

I didn't post it earlier because normally these "conatos", or outbreaks, are put out within a couple of hours, but this one has been burning now for several hours and they haven't announced it even as under control yet. It's Tacoronte again, in the La Atalaya mountain area, and a fire broke out there earlier this afternoon. Helicopters and ground firefighters are tackling the blaze. JA

The Consorcio de Bomberos say that the fire is now stabilized. Hopefully "under control" isn't too far away.

As of last thing last night, the fire is now officially under control.
