Fire zones were established and ground forces intervened only when feasible. The fire is creeping, that is, it burns fallen dry leaves and branches that are on the ground. It essentially burns dead natural matter and not forest. Forces are still there and are only operating by air. Everything shows that the situation is de-escalating”, he said recently to “Epiloges TV”.
