Firefighters Draw Water From Swimming Pool As Crews Battle Los Gallardos Wildfire

Personnel from the Military Emergency Unit’s BIEM2 battalion and crews from Plan INFOCA continued working together in the Los Gallardos fire area to eliminate secondary hotspots and defend the urban-forest interface.

Officials said the coordinated response remains focused on protecting homes and preventing further spread of the fire in challenging terrain.

Video from the scene shows red fire engines positioned near residential buildings as firefighters deploy hoses and carry out operations around homes threatened by the blaze.

Crews are seen drawing water from a private swimming pool while teams in full protective gear move across steep, dry hillsides covered in smoke.

Firefighters lay hoses across the terrain as multiple agencies continue working together to extinguish secondary fire spots and defend nearby properties.
