The mayor of Xerta, Roger Aviñó, will request a report on the management of the fire in Baix Ebre, especially on the first night (July 7), when the blaze reached the town gates, causing panic and "total chaos." He also wants to clarify why the EMU (Mediterranean Emergency Unit) was not requested until the following day.
