Under control

Wednesday, August 1st, 2007
The canarian government stated, that the fire, though still active, is 'under control'. It has affected 20.000 hectares and about 5000 people who start to get back to their homes progressively. Beside the firemen/women, the emergency intervention group, civil protection and the red cross, the gando UME (military emergency unit) took also part in the extinction works with help from units from Valencia, Zaragoza and Madrid. This has unfortunately been the worst natural disaster ever for Gran Canaria. :(
