Malaga Province Fires

Blazing Fires in Malaga Province

The fires have now come and thankfully gone.
It was no doubt breaking news as telephone calls came flooding in from all around the world including Australia. All concerned callers where calling to see if everyone was OK and if the College was affected. It was really touching to see how many people cared.

Thankfully Monda town and the University College – Marbella Design Academy where not affected directly. This however, did not mean everything was quiet, the fires still came close enough to have the police evacuate people from their homes in the surrounding area in the early hours of Friday.  

We are only grateful there was no damage in this area and that the College still looks as beautiful as ever. More importantly we are able to continue with our jobs and make sure deserving students get their eduction in Design.

We would like to thank all firefighters, police, reserved military, pilots and anyone else who was directly involved for their efforts in stopping the fire. It had been mentioned they all did an exceptional job in stopping such a huge fire in a short period of time.

Our thoughts go out to all those whom where affect.
