The Tenerife fire continues to remain stabilized as efforts focus on La Matanza, Santa Úrsula, La Orotava, and Güímar to consolidate the perimeter and prevent any potential reactivation at hot spots. In Santa Úrsula, 20 people continue to be evacuated as a precaution, although the emergency management team will assess the possibility of their return home tomorrow.
Likewise, air quality continues to be monitored, with high particle values recorded in the high area of La Orotava during the night, although these dissipated this morning.
