More than 3,000 people evacuated from homes as weather prevents helicopters joining the Pujerra forest fire battle
The fire that is devastating the Sierra Bermeja again originated in La Resinera, one of the largest fincas in the area, covering some 6,500 hectares spread across the municipalities of Benahavís, Júzcar and Pujerra in Malaga province.

The latest fire in the Sierra Bermeja started at around 3pm on Wednesday (8 June), when the terral wind was blowing more strongly, in the municipality Pujerra and more specifically in the area known as Los Baños. It is not a transit area or well connected, which makes the extinction of the fire difficult. Plan Infoca specialist firefighters have now been joined by Spain’s Military Emergency Unit (UME) as they work to control the blaze.
