There was good news for the Devesa and the natural park of l'Albufera. The firefighting work carried out throughout the night bore fruit and, as the Government delegate in the Valencian Community, Pilar Bernabé, just confirmed, the fire and flames barely advanced. The night work managed to contain the flames and halt the progress of the Saler fire, thus avoiding greater damage to these natural areas.
