Spain faces a new day of maximum alert due to forest fires after a Friday marked by several large active fires in different autonomous communities and a wide deployment of extinguishing means. The emergency services have worked throughout the night to consolidate the perimeters, protect the inhabited areas and prevent the flames from continuing to advance in the fires that remain active.
The main concern continues to focus on the fires declared in Aragón, Castilla-La Mancha, the Community of Madrid and Andalusia, where the high temperatures, wind and low humidity They have complicated the extinction efforts. While some fires have evolved favorably, others continue to require a significant deployment of ground and air resources to try to stabilize the situation.
The next few hours will once again be conditioned by meteorological developments, especially in those areas where gusts of wind may favor the reactivation of some fronts or hinder the work of emergency teams. The authorities keep activated the different civil protection plans and continue to evaluate the need to maintain or modify the prevention measures adopted during the last hours.
