The favorable evolution of the Vall d'Uixó wildfire has allowed residents of La Vilavella to return to their homes voluntarily this Tuesday.

Despite the improvement, authorities have established that residents of La Vilavella must remain confined and follow health recommendations due to the presence of smoke. In this regard, the use of FFP2 masks is advised, and the exclusive consumption of bottled water is required, as tap water is not suitable for drinking until further notice.
On the other hand, the municipalities of Onda and Betxí continue under confinement until midnight. The Cecopi is scheduled to evaluate the situation this afternoon to decide if further restrictions can be eased in the area.
Currently, nearly 7,000 people remain displaced. 16 evacuations are still in effect, affecting various urban centers and residential areas, including towns such as Aín, Alcudia de Veo, Alfondeguilla, Tales, Eslida, Artana, Sueras, Villamalur, Torralba del Pinar, Ayódar, Fuentes de Ayódar, Chóvar, Azuébar, Almedíjar, and the district of Artesa.
