"One or more people have forced the entrance lock to the Pérez Moreno lot next to the Arrecife City Council depot and have burned the material that was on the land," said Vicky Sande, councilor of the Arrecife City Council. "It has caused a large column of smoke due to the number of tires that were inside," he added.
Civil Protection volunteers and firefighters quickly approached and were in charge of throwing dirt with a mechanical shovel. However, the extinction work lasted until the early hours of the morning, as confirmed by the Lanzarote Emergency Consortium.
