MAJOR FIRE AT THE RIVER GUADIARO ESTUARY

A major fire this week destroyed two hectares of scrubland at the estuary of the River Guadiaro. The fire broke out near the mouth of the river and engulfed the wooden walkway at the river entrance. A large column of black smoke was visible for many miles and could be seen from many areas of the Campo de Gibraltar. The fire also set off many alarms at homes in Sotogrande. It took almost five hours to bring under control and almost 10,000 litres of water was used to finally quell the blaze.
