The Integrated Operational Coordination Center has allowed evacuated residents of La Vilavella to return to their homes, although they must remain confined inside their dwellings.

Authorities have established strict preventive measures to ensure public safety. Among these is the prohibition of consuming water from the public network for drinking, cooking, or preparing food, a restriction that will remain in place until the quality of the supply is verified. Tap water may only be used for hygiene and irrigation tasks.
Likewise, the use of FFP2 masks is recommended to minimize respiratory risks derived from the presence of smoke and suspended particles in the environment. According to operational officials, other types of protection do not offer the necessary safety under current conditions.
The wildfire, which remains active, has already affected more than 8,500 hectares. Although the fire's progression has slowed down, firefighting teams maintain all resources deployed to prevent new flare-ups and consolidate the security perimeter.
