According to some neighbors, the smoke began to be perceived at least three days ago in the area near the Los Naranjos quarry. It was reported that there  are several current outbreaks and warned that “it is not controlled.”

Since Thursday night, the Tandil firefighters have been working at the site and warned that  the fire “is not controlled”  and that there are several current sources. At the moment there are 12 people who are carrying out tasks there,  being two teams from Tandil, from the center and Villa Italia, appeasing the flames, along with that of María Ignacia (Vela) who joined.

Likewise, they do not rule out that the Barker firefighters also approach,  since the work is proving very exhausting, because the place is inaccessible for vehicles that were about 500 meters from the place, so they must walk that stretch to look for water manually.

They have not yet been able to specify the entire area reached, nor to survey the damage, they  will also have to investigate what would have caused the origin of the fire, although they anticipated that the sources are several and are at a distance of approximately 500 meters each. “I totally rule out that the cause is natural, but if it was intentional or not, I don’t know,” said Commissioner Ramón García,  Head of the Headquarters.

The same, expressed the expectation that the weather will accompany and the winds do not change direction, so that the afternoon they have been doing is effective, since the lights have re-emerged after the rotation. ” The priority is not to advance on the houses, ” he agreed.
