The fire that began early Wednesday afternoon and was declared under control by Thursday morning reignited at 3:00 PM today in a sloped area driven by the wind.
The fire reached a resolution phase at 6:21 PM, and according to a source from the Sabrosa City Hall, around 132 operatives and 37 vehicles remain on site. Aerial resources have been demobilized.
Teams will remain in the field for consolidation maneuvers and surveillance.
