The Institution pays tribute to the 20 victims by laying the traditional wreath at the monument commemorating the tragic event, which took place 36 years ago.
The Cabildo de La Gomera paid tribute to the 20 people who died in the fire that struck the island in 1984 and devastated 900 hectares. In memory of the deceased, the Council laid wreaths this Friday at the monument erected in their memory at the foot of Roque Agando and at the Municipal Cemetery of San Sebastián.
This year marks the 36th anniversary of the tragic event in which 13 people from the island and seven others from Tenerife died, including the civil governor at the time, Francisco Afonso. This event left its mark on the people of La Gomera, who always remember what happened on this date with respect.
