This is yet another example of poor land management. Do these people not bother to check the weather forecast??? The devastating fire in the Albufera late last year was caused by a ‘controlled burn’ - started on a windy day. Please, learn from mistakes. Stop setting fire to forests on windy days.
I was one of the 38 residents sitting in Can Segue car park for over four hours while the Gaurdia, the helicopter pilots and fire crews did a fantastic job But who in there right mind would start a CONTROLLED FIRE in a gale!!!!
