The journalist Carmen Elisa Pecorelli documented through photos and videos posted on social networks the ravenous fire that devastated the hills in the area. Firefighters, Civil Protection and other bodies worked in the affected areas.

The fire corresponded to the El Castaño sector on the road to Choroní, with “El Limón”, “Valle Verde” and that road being the most affected.

 

 

Authorities were present in the area to control the flames. Volunteers joined the effort day and night.

Given the drought, users on networks asked authorities to reinforce fire prevention and citizens to report imprudence that could generate them, given the magnitude of the incident registered in this nature reserve and green lung of the city and Aragua State.
