The Emergency Consortium had to act early this Monday in several parts of the island due to small fires. Specifically, five containers burned in Haría, pyrotechnics in Teguise and a paper bin in Arrecife.

The most important of all took place at about 4:51 when five containers burned on Punta del Pasito street in Charco del Palo. Firefighters had to mark off the area due to the magnitude of the fire, as the flames affected three glass containers and two cardboard collection containers. The troops were able to extinguish it with sprayed and jetted water. Agents of the Civil Guard also came to the place.
