Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez visited the area west of Madrid on Saturday, July 25, which has been hit by extensive wildfires. He stated that saving lives remains the priority, and warned that firefighters face difficult hours ahead despite falling temperatures. hnonline.sk ↗
The wildfires in the western part of the Madrid region have required the emergency evacuation of tens of thousands of residents. Spanish authorities have described them as the worst in the region's history. The situation is complicated by uncertain wind conditions, which could affect the further spread of the flames as well as the work of the response teams. France24 ↗
The government has established unified command given the possibility that the fires in the Madrid and Ávila areas could merge into a single large fire zone. Around a hundred members of the Portuguese army are joining the firefighting effort in the Ávila zone. Foreign assistance also includes four reinforcement aircraft arriving from Greece and Italy. teraz.sk ↗
The near-term development will depend mainly on the weather and wind strength. Authorities are therefore continuing to coordinate the response and measures to protect residents in the affected areas. Le Figaro ↗
