A vegetation fire declared this Sunday in the municipality of Alboraia has necessitated the mobilization of various emergency services due to the risk of spread and its potential impact on traffic on the V-21 highway.

The fire broke out in Alboraia this Sunday, raising an alert due to its proximity to the V-21, one of the main access routes to the city of Valencia. The Emergency Coordination Center of the Generalitat Valenciana received the report at 3:27 PM.
Two fire crews from La Pobla de Farnals and Burjassot, the sergeant from Paterna, and the forest coordinator from the Provincial Consortium of Firefighters of Valencia were dispatched to the scene. Additionally, a unit of Forest Firefighters with a water tender and a crew from Valencia Firefighters were mobilized to control the flames.
Authorities have requested the presence of the Civil Guard due to potential traffic disruptions on the V-21, near Port Saplaya. Currently, no personal injuries or evacuations have been reported, as emergency teams continue to work in the area.
