The fire declared in Niebla remains active and has entered the municipality of Aznalcóllar. The Town Hall of Guillena urges calm and reminds residents of recommendations regarding smoke.

The forest fire that began in Niebla continues to be active and has now reached the municipal area of Aznalcóllar, as confirmed by the Town Hall of Guillena, which maintains constant contact with emergency services. Although Aznalcóllar does not border Guillena, the distance between the two areas is several kilometres, but the proximity of the fire keeps the municipality on edge.

The mayor and the councillors of Guillena are in direct communication with the officials of 112, INFOCA, and the Junta de Andalucía to monitor the evolution of the fire minute by minute. The Town Hall has conveyed a message of calm and prudence to the population, especially regarding the possible arrival of smoke and the deterioration of air quality.

Health authorities recommend special attention to elderly people, children, and those with respiratory issues. In case of any symptoms or doubts, it is advised to follow official guidelines and avoid unnecessary exposure outdoors if smoke approaches.

The Town Hall of Guillena has also called for not spreading rumours or unverified information on social media. To know the evolution of the fire, they insist that only the official channels of 112, INFOCA, and the Junta de Andalucía should be consulted.

The Town Hall has expressed its support and recognition to the professionals working in firefighting and emergency efforts, as well as its solidarity with the residents of the affected municipalities. Guillena has made itself available to the affected localities through official channels.

The Town Hall has assured that it will continue to provide timely information on any developments that may affect the municipality. In the meantime, citizens are urged to exercise caution and to trust only in official sources.
