Letter of gratitude to the Bejis emergency responders

Letter of gratitude to the Bejis emergency responders

This month of August 2022 the province of Castellón has been affected by two major forest fires. The first in the municipalities of Costur, Les Useres, Figueroles and Llucena, where 800 hectares were affected, and simultaneously a second fire started in Bejís, which has ended up becoming the worst forest fire in decades in our province.

In the midst of a heat wave and extreme weather conditions, this fire has destroyed nearly 20,000 hectares of forest land, seriously threatening different municipalities, damaging various properties, and leaving several people injured. Finally, on August 27, the fire was considered controlled, thanks to the enormous effort of hundreds of people. Attached here is the letter of thanks to all of them, by the deputy delegate of the Fire Departament of the Diputación de Castellón, Abel Ibáñez.
