According to the neighborhood entity, the fire is not an unforeseen event, but the confirmation of a problem about which several warnings had already been issued without obtaining a response. The fire forced the mobilization of ground and air resources in an intervention that lasted throughout the night, stabilizing at 4 AM and being brought under control by 11:15 AM the following morning.

Residents were the ones who detected the outbreak around 10:00 PM, alerted emergency services, and guided firefighters through the mountain. Although they acknowledge the rapid intervention of emergency teams, the board of directors insists that the incident highlights a risk that had already been communicated to the Orihuela City Council through written records in recent months.

Among the communications is a claim filed on March 5, 2025, to warn about the condition of numerous dry pine trees affected by a plague, as well as requests for information on the existence of an evacuation plan sent on August 14 and November 14, 2025. The association denounces a situation of “administrative silence” and the lack of actions derived from these prior warnings.

The urbanization is located in an environment of “accumulated risk” due to the presence of degraded and highly flammable forest mass, a service station, industrial facilities, and a vehicle storage area. The neighborhood group states that there is no public information on action or evacuation protocols for the resident population.

The association now demands “immediate and clear” information from the City Council regarding existing risks, communication of the evacuation plan, the adoption of urgent preventive measures in the adjacent forest mass, and “effective coordination” with competent emergency and forest management administrations. They warn that if the lack of response persists, they reserve the right to take appropriate legal and administrative actions to defend the safety of residents.
