Another fire in Tenerife
On Sunday afternoon, four helicopters, as well as numerous police, Civil Guard and firefighters, were called to fight a fire in La Esperanza, in El Rosario in northeastern Tenerife. The fire started at around 4 p.m. and was brought under control by 6.15 p.m., but managed to burn approximately 4 hectares (40,000 square meters), with flames reaching the high mountain.
Inhabitants were fearful, once again, that the fire could affect their homes.
It's not the first time fire has occurred in this area. In fact, says the report, it's has been repeated on various occasions, almost always intentionally.
Residents take it as given that this fire was set by human hands.
