Translated from article, as there are no English sources reporting this info about the causes
“The authorities have also regretted that the flames began at the same time in several points in a pine forest area, which could indicate that it was an intentional incident. The Civil Guard and the firefighting services ask for caution. The first thing is to control the flames. Then investigate.”
Sound familiar? Remember the video of the Quebec, Canada fires all starting at the same time in different points?
