The northwestern front of the forest fire which started on Sunday is still advancing out of control.
The Tagara barranca is inaccessible except to helicopters and the hydroplanes, what fireman are doing is to clear firebreaks in the hope of slowing the advance to the north west.
The official count is 300 volunteers actively fighting the fires with a further 500 personnel in support roles.
One group of voluntary fireman from the? V-6 Santiago del Teide brigade were almost cut off in the Chasobo area when the fire front took an unexpected turn around 3pm this afternoon, luckily no one was hurt.
There is now an official call for help from the public in the form of refreshments, food and drink, for the volunteers who are fighting the fires now in their fourth day. Those who are able to help are asked to contact their nearest tourist information office.
Bar Las Estrellas in Guia de Isora was just one establishment that answered the call and has been providing sandwiches and drinks for the fire fighters dealing with the advancing fire front in the Tagara ravine.
The owner of the bar told RTVC that fire fighters were returning covered in ash and looked completely worn out.
Guia de Isora Ayuntamiento has recommended that the 212 inhabitants of Chirche vacate their homes as a precaution.
In the east the fire near Vilaflor was officially declared under control around 4pm.
