“It is the only focus qwe have a lot of activity. We are between San Antonio and Carlos Paz. If we see it from Carlos Paz towards where the “400 homes” are, well behind “400 homes” to the north is this active focus with great intensity,” explained the Secretary of Risk Management Claudio Vignetta.
“We are working with four aerial means, a helicopter and three planes, two ground and the hydrant. We have more than 50 personnel installed on the line. It is a complicated fire, it is in a ravine, many places that cannot be worked. “It is burning native forest, low forest,” he added in dialogue with Andy Ferreyra of Córdoba Profile.
“The wind is now starting to become more intense from the north and that makes everyone’s task more difficult. It’s going to be a very complicated day. We have a lot of temperature and a lot of wind,” Vignetta warned.
Minutes following noon, the residents of the Solares neighborhood of Playa de Oro self-evacuated as a precaution.

Furthermore, Vignetta stated that “eThe main risk we have today is in the area where we are now”. “Although it is going to burn once morest the wind, an arm may enter towards the “400 homes” area through a ravine that would be framed towards the “400 homes” water tank. I have personnel installed there, ETAC, firefighters, who If it were to enter we will protect the homes”he added.
“There are people who have self-evacuated, there are other people who have remained but are waiting to see if we give the order for immediate evacuation.. For the moment we are still calm there. We have to wait to see how this slowly moving fire head evolves,” he said.

“Today we are going to have 7 airplanes and a helicopter. We are staggering them so they don’t run out of fuel. We are going to work with almost 180 personnel between ETAC, volunteer firefighters and the Provincial Police who are working throughout the area“Vignetta specified.

Evacuees
“In the Cuesta Blanca area there are no longer evacuees, they have returned to their homes. There are people who have self-evacuated from the “400 homes” who have gone to relatives’ houses. I don’t have it accounted for, but we are pretty good regarding it,” said the official.
Other focuses
“In San Clemente it is contained with a lot of instability, it is very likely that it will restart due to weather conditions. In Potrero de Garay we have a restart that is being worked on. In Argentina, in San Carlos Minas, the fire is also important. Although there is no risk of interface, it is burning forest,” concluded Vignetta.

Eight hydrant planes are working to combat the flames, three from the Province of Córdoba and five from the National Fire Management Plan.
