Vegetation and pine trees alongside the railway line behind the Venta Reales on the RM-714 Calasparra Venta Olivas Road caught fire this evening at around 6.30pm.
Fire fighters from Calasparra and Cieza attended the scene and helicopters were called in from Alcantarilla to prevent the blaze spreading to the hill slopes.
Some 40 square metres burned before the fire was brought under control.
