Local fire services have deployed more than 400 firefighters, along with multiple helicopters and firefighting aircraft. Spain's Military Emergency Unit has sent 200 soldiers and 60 vehicles to reinforce the response. Ferran Garcia, head of firefighting operations in the Girona region, said the fire may have grown beyond firefighters' capacity to extinguish, adding that their priority is to contain the blaze as much as possible and minimize damage. Citing local police, Spanish media reported that a worker has been detained on suspicion of arson. Preliminary investigations suggest the fire may have been sparked by machinery used during roadwork.
