The President of the Canary Islands, Fernando Clavijo, confirmed this Sunday that the forest fire, which broke out in Tenerife on Tuesday, was “provoked” and revealed that the Civil Guard maintains three lines of investigation.
At a press conference, Fernando Clavijo said that although it was suspected from the start that it was arson, the Civil Guard investigations confirmed it, without giving more information.
Fernando Clavijo hopes that the author or authors of the fire, which started in the mountains of Arafo, with several fires, will be arrested and regrets all the damage caused by the flames, in addition to endangering the lives of thousands of people.
Regarding the complaint against three people who jumped the perimeter of the Las Lagunetas area yesterday to access a house, Clavijo said they had been identified.
The president added that he hopes that a double sanction will be applied to them through criminal and administrative procedures.
“They not only endangered their lives, but also those of the people who had to save them,” Clavijo stressed, although despite this episode the behavior of the population was “exemplary”.
