40 homes had to be evacuated on Saturday in the Hacho district of Manilva after a campo fire broke out at 11am. The residents from the properties were asked to leave their homes as a precaution, and by 4pm in the afternoon were able to return as the fire was brought under control. Despite the flames, strong gusts of wind, and smoke close to the properties, the fire only affected five hectares of scrub and low mountain land close to the La Duquesa Golf Course.
