The Anti-Incineration Movement alerts about what happened at the height of Zubieta with another video it has received from the neighbours. "There seems to have been a fire in the incinerator. No alarm has spread in the area, but has it had an impact on the air of neighbouring peoples? she asks.

The mayor of Usurbil has asked more questions through social media. According to "@tgurasoen there has been a fire in the incinerator pit. What happened? Are we sure? Will anyone give explanations? We have a dangerous facility next to the people and we demand public control and monitoring."

Consultation

Regarding what happened, Ancusi explained that "the GHK has given us its version: a small fire in the mass grave. This means that someone from some community has shed flammable material. The fire was fired at 07:45 hours and controlled at 10:00 hours. They have been extinguished by means of incineration. In addition to smoke, there have been no other damages."

In view of this, he wanted to provide some clarifications. "It is not lawful to blame others when the control of the waste deposited in them is their responsibility. What does it mean that there is no access control? Lack of control? It's not the first fire, it's at least the fourth."

He adds that "finally, in the mass pit there are the most dangerous industrial and waste that has been burned, generating more than two hours of highly polluting smoke. It cannot be said that, apart from smoke, there has been no harm, when the damage is that smoke. Or is there not enough damage to the health and safety of the population?We want to know what concrete material and quantity has been burned and what dangerous substances have been spilled and why the population has not been alerted and 112 has been called as an authorisation requirement."
