Cabildo carrying out forest fire drill today in hills above Barranco Hondo

[Janet]

The Tenerife Cabildo has announced that it is carrying out a forest fire drill today in the hills above Barranco Hondo. The exercise is to continue and refine training and protocols of the Cabildo's Forestry Brigades (Brifor). Anyone seeing smoke in the hills should always report it, but at least today the public can be reassured about anything unusual in that area, which is between Candelaria and Santa Cruz. Apart from Brifor, a Cabildo helicopter will be taking part in the exercise. JA
