Firefighters tackle blaze on Barcelona's Montjuïc mountain

Eight ground units from the Barcelona Fire Department and three air units from the Catalan Fire Department are working on a wildfire that broke out this Thursday afternoon on Montjuïc. 

The fire started at around 1:30 pm on Miramar road, just below Montjuïc Castle. 

The column of smoke can be seen from various parts of the city, but council sources say that the intensity of the flames has dropped significantly with the aerial water drop.

The air units consist of two firefighting helicopters and one coordination helicopter.
