Last week alone fire-fighters were called to put out 56 fires that they believe had been deliberately started. Mr. Lopez, councillor in charge of the Department of Prevention and Extinction of Fires in Murcia said, “This is very strange; it may be glass that is causing the fires”. However, the Fire Department and the Guardia Civil believe that someone or a group of people are starting the fires. Hillsides, fields, rubbish and dumped household and construction waste have all been fuel for the fires that are keeping the Fire Department operating at full capacity. Both the Guardia Civil and the General Director of Emergencies, Luis Gestosa, have called for the general public to help with this situation. “If you see anything suspicious do not hesitate to alert the authorities,” they said. To date, luckily no one has been injured in any of these fires. They have just wasted hours of valuable time and resources.
