51 vehicles and 16 aircraft are working to tackle the fire which is an inaccessible zone. It began yesterday afternoon.

We will update the Ebre Connect Facebook and Twitter accounts with the latest news when we have it.

You can follow @bomberscat on Twitter and Local Fire and Weather Watch for this area on Facebook (in English) for more detail.

Tivenys fire

The fire during Thursday night.

Below is this morning’s press release from the Generalitat de Catalunya.

Els Bombers de la Generalitat, helitransportats ahir en rebre l’avís de l’incendi, han estat treballant durant les darreres hores amb eines manuals per tal d’intentar estabilitzar aquest foc que crema des d’ahir a la tarda a la zona de la Punta del Capelló a Tivenys.
 
Segons les darreres informacions, l’incendi continua actiu. El flanc dret, ha progressat obrint-se cap el Barranc de les Calobres i el flanc esquerre, ha propagat cap a una zona de barrancs pel Mas de Manolo. Fins ara, el foc hauria afectat una superfície d’unes 80 hectàrees de vegetació forestal.
 
Al lloc, treballen una quarantena de dotacions terrestres dels Bombers de la Generalitat que, en aquests moments, fan relleu de personal i que, des de primera hora del matí, compten també amb el suport dels mitjans aeris que s’aniran incorporant progressivament.
