Firefighter units work against two active fires in the Camp de Tarragona with aerial support. The situation maintains tension among the affected residents.
The fires, detected on May 26, 2026, are concentrated in Batea and Corbera d'Ebre, rural areas with landscapes of pine trees and agricultural fields. Extinguishing tasks continue under surveillance.
Fire in Batea: a pine forest among agricultural fields
Ground and aerial intervention
In Batea, six units of the Generalitat Firefighters, one of them aerial (MAER), are fighting a fire declared at 12:18 p.m. in a pine forest surrounded by an agricultural mosaic. The combination of ground and aerial resources allows for more effective containment of the flames.
Context and characteristics of the fire
The affected pine forest is surrounded by fields that hinder direct propagation, but the presence of dry vegetation makes the situation delicate. The Firefighters work to prevent the fire from spreading beyond the initial perimeter.
