By h.b. - Aug 6, 2008 - 1:45 PM
200 hectares of pine and low mountain land have been affected
Forest fire is affecting Zaragoza today with the blaze remaining out of control at noon today after breaking out yesterday afternoon.
Several air and land forces are being used to fight the flames which have affected some 2,000 hectares of pine and low mountain land close to the municipality of Zuera. Some 300 people are currently involved in fighting the flames. The critical time of the day is the heat of the day and the situation has been further complicated by the winds in the area.
The fire was started by a traffic accident at 2,30pm yesterday afternoon on the road between Villanueva de Gállego and Castejón de Valdejasa when a car hit a tree. The two occupants of the car escaped unhurt.
