Madrid wildfires force 35,000 evacuations
The article discusses the efforts of Spanish firefighting teams to control the raging wildfires west of Madrid, which have led to the evacuation of 35,000 people from affected areas, including seven new villages in the Avila region. The situation indicates that smoke has spread as far as central Madrid, with officials warning that strong, gusty winds could hinder firefighting efforts and cause the fires to expand, especially with forecasts of increased wind speeds in the coming hours. Nighttime weather conditions have helped slow the fire’s spread, but preparations continue as the risk of further fire development increases. It has been announced that over 168,000 hectares have been burned since the beginning of the year, following what has been the worst wildfire season in 2025, with fires destroying more than 393,000 hectares across the country.
