Furthermore, After visiting the affected area, Justice Minister Felix Bolanos said, "The fire has not spread at all today," adding that the burned area remained at 6,600 hectares (16,300 acres).

Antonio Sanz, the Andalusian regional government’s emergency chief, said police had searched the affected areas without finding any further victims, although he cautioned that the search was continuing. “That does not mean it cannot happen, but after the Civil Guard swept the area, including locations that were still hotspots, it gives us hope,” he said.
