Chulilla hunters were amazed not. It reminded many boars. In its steep hills, between the gorges through which flows the River Turia, the animals had sought refuge after escaping the terrible fire that destroyed forests and Alcublas Andilla almost three months. Since Monday, the shares Chulilla landscape of desolation color of the two neighboring towns, all in the region of the Highlands, the green lung of the province of Valencia, located some 60 kilometers from the capital. The fire had burned more than 5,500 acres, as explained by the Minister of Interior, Serafin Castilian, since he said Sunday afternoon around Chulilla power station.
This is the third major fire that destroys the forest of Valencia. The first took place in early June in Benagéber and charred about 670 acres. The second incident occurred in the first week of July. With focus on the towns of Cortes de Pallas and Andilla, flames devoured some 50,000 hectares, almost half of all that has been burned in Spain this year. And on Sunday sparked the Chulilla this third catastrophe. In total, this year has already burned more acres (and exceed 55,000, area the region of L'Alcoià) than in the 17 years that the PP has the front of the Generalitat (54,948)
It is still unclear what caused this fire, if it was intentional or caused by a spark that jumped, but there is no doubt of the scale of the disaster. The flames spread through the area at high speed fueled by intense westerly winds and aggravated by sweltering heat with temperatures above 30 degrees the first weekend of fall. And on Monday, the wind abated, but further complicated the firefighting, fire multiplying the various pockets of the district, separated by several miles.

This fire, as recorded in the other this summer, what occurs is given in three thirty christened, ie temperatures above 30 degrees (it was the 34), gusts greater than 30 kilometers ( gusts reached over 60) and a relative humidity less than 30% (20%).
About 2,000 people were evacuated from six populations (Chulilla, Gestalgar, Sot de Chera, Pedralba, Bugarra and Casinos) on Sunday night. Yesterday, some of them began to return home, but more than a hundred high school was housed in the Archbishop of Villar. The Generalitat grew to 42/2 and 800 air men who, in the afternoon, had to face two new fires in Riba-roja and Vilamarxant.
To complicate matters further, shortly after two in the afternoon, another fire broke out at the end of Riba-roja de Turia, about 20 kilometers from Pedralba. According to the initial investigation, could be intentional. Forced to evict 70 people from a college and last night was favorable. About 19:30, another at Les pleaded Plantaes of Vilamarxant, close to town and Riba-roja Pedralba.
Straw to curb soil erosion
J. F., Valencia
Professor of Geography at the University of Valencia Artemi Cerdà is one of the leading specialists in soil erosion. After more than 20 years of study, considered to have made many mistakes in the management of forest fires.
"We must accept that there will be erosion, but it is trying to reduce it to levels similar to those of nature," said Cerda, who warns that the introduction of heavy machinery and walking on the ashes after a fire is a mistake.
"The placement of straw in the affected areas from the air, and bales of straw in the bottom of the road, can prevent entrainment of ash and soil," said the specialist, ensuring that fire is part of the Mediterranean ecosystem . "The vegetation is recovered easily, so we can know how much time has passed since a fire has been observed only in plants," continues Artemi Cerdà, who considered that the problem is that there is a control policy that allows even a controlled burn small areas to regenerate the forest.
"If nothing is done, in 20 years we will have another 50,000 hectares of forest ready to burn," said the specialist, indicating that the fire problem has worsened with the change of uses, increased temperatures and momentum of electioneering character performances that are meaningless. The advantage is that the holm and cork oaks resprout after fire and plants which can not germinate best, like pine or jara he says.
The Agriculture Minister Miguel Arias Cañete, did not hesitate to cross the situation as "worrying" and to avoid criticism as fires received Andilla Cortes and deployed an arsenal of means to fight the blaze, eight large seaplanes, 4/2, three helicopters and two complete crews, four helicopters and a spotter plane. These troops, together with data collected by the Ministry of Interior, got to add a total of 42 aircraft.
Red Cross held two of the three relays mounted on Sunday. A total of 221 residents evacuated from Gestalgar, Chulilla, Pedralba Bugarra and had decided to spend the night in shelters and Vilamarxant Archbishop Villar. The shelter was dismantled Requena.
"I'm knackered. There is nothing left of Pelham, recreational area where there were pine trees that survived the great fire in 1994, "lamented Carlos Martinez, backhoe driver 25 years unemployed and Chulilla neighbor. Carlos, along with the friend who threw the first alert flames shortly after four in the afternoon of Sunday, was part of the squad that tried to stop the flames until the Civil Guard were ordered to evacuate the population.
Tempers are exalted. Begoña, voluntary and neighbor, summed up a feeling at the doors of the Institute of Villar: "To which right there is what is being done in this area. There is money for formula 1, for the Pope's visit, but there is to clean the mountains and bring herds. The wind is the wind, but if the mount was clean, the fire would not go that fast. "
The feel of the areas affected is still in the antipodes of the Consell sales pitch, the Minister of Interior, Serafin Castilian, after the catastrophe of Cortes and Andilla, said: "The Consell has developed a responsible policy and edgy in fire prevention. It is true to say that the cause of these fires lies in assumptions cuts or inadequate fire prevention policy. "
The opposition accuses the PP have reduced forest brigades 74 2010 to 43 today, and a decline in summer reinforcements almost one thousand people in all the groups involved in forest protection. Also reproaches have suppressed the popular line that allowed Pamer 2100 hiring unemployed a year to clean the mountain.
Isabel, 78, could only take home a bag of drug
Juan Mira, 82, and his wife Elizabeth, 78, also spent the night at the Archbishop Villar. "We came on a bus and we have not slept," he said. "It was a time or to get my comb" lamented Isabel. "I could only take my medicine," he said as he pressed a plastic bag.
Inside the school, with a six month old baby in her arms, Amparo Esteve, 30, recalled: "It was horrible, the smoke would not let us see anything, but I left my home because I have a baby, if not, I will not. "
Some residents believe that the media took too long to fire the first focus attack. "It was over an hour and a half since I was called," said one, who declined to give his name.
Gestalgar Mayor Raul Pardos, PSPV, criticized the lack of media had on Sunday declared at the time of the fire. Instead, mayors of Chulilla, Enrique Silvestre, and Pedralba, Roberto Serigó, both the PP, said that the wind was "unpredictable" the direction of the flames and the virulence reached "made it impossible to do more."
