Villalba del Alcor Wildfire Risk: Should I Travel?

The fire at the Finca Purchena area was declared out on the evening of 1 August. Nothing in the village is closed.

Short answer: Plan INFOCA declared the fire at the Finca Purchena area of Villalba del Alcor extinguished at twenty to seven on the evening of Saturday 1 August. It had been declared at twenty past one that afternoon and stabilised at half past three. Four aircraft went in, two heavy helicopters and two ground based cargo planes, with eighteen people and an engine, and the aircraft were stood down early because it was going well. No evacuation was ordered, no road closure was reported and nothing in the village is shut. What is left is burnt ground on the farmland edge, which is worth knowing if you were planning to walk out that way.
