Ibiza Forest Fire

The forest fire which raged in the north west of Ibiza in the municipality of San Juan has now been declared 'under control.' Resources used to fight the fire - both manpower and machines - have now been reduced; members of the army's emergency squad, and specialist fire-fighters from Catalonia and Valencia along with 11 aircraft have all returned to base.

This still leaves around 300 brave men and women, 5 helicopters and 4 planes to maintain the perimeter of the fire and damp down any resurgence of the flames within it.
