According to Cartagena City Council, by 5:20pm the fire was brought under control.Due to the prevailing wind, the Local Police of Cartagena had to cut traffic on the Santa Lucía cemetery road and on the road that connects Lo Campano with Escombreras. As of 2:15 p.m., both roads were reopened to traffic.➡️ ⌚15:15h siguen trabajando todos los medios 🚒🚁 en el #IFCartagena en el barranco del Orfeo. pic.twitter.com/hULhwYRaEl
