A gas leak in Mijas forced the evacuation of 32 homes on Wednesday, October 21. The pipe was damaged during road work near the Hipodromo. Emergency services responded quickly, with firefighters shutting off the gas supply. No one was injured, and residents were allowed to return home later that day. The incident prompted concern about potential future wildfires, leading to plans for a prescribed burn by Andalucia's forest-fire service INFOCA on Friday, October 23.
The controlled vegetation burn aims to reduce fire risk in the area, but residents are being advised to follow safety instructions and avoid the work zone.
