THE Vall de Gallinera fire, reported recently in the Euro Weekly News, was almost certainly deliberate. 
Javier Sendra, member of the Diputacion council responsible for Alicante province’s Fire Brigades, revealed that initial investigations have revealed that the fire, which destroyed 158 hectares of countryside, started in several places. 
All were close to the road between L’Orxa and Vilallonga and although no conclusions have yet been made, the Guardia Civil are currently scouring the area for indications of negligence or, possibly, of arson.
