Helicopters have been busy damping down all morning following a fire in the area of scrubland between the battery of Castillitos and the beach area below of Cala Salitrona.
The fire broke out at 1am in the morning and Cartagena fire forces were able to access the area without difficulty, joined at first light by helicopter support.
The fire was declared extinguished at 7.30am this morning.
The causes of the fire are under investigation, but it is believed that the fire could relate to a broken electricity cable in the high tension line which feeds the Cabo Tiñoso lighthouse.
