Spain Reports Progress in Forest Fire Control
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez revealed signs of progress in the efforts to combat the forest fires in western Madrid, which are considered among the worst in the country's history. He indicated that the efforts of firefighting teams and the military have helped turn the tide of the flames during critical hours, suggesting that the current expansion may soon be under control. Despite the optimism, he called for caution to avoid casualties or worsening damage. According to the Ministry of the Interior, 77,000 hectares of vegetation have been destroyed in the recent fires, bringing the total area burned since the beginning of the year to 175,000 hectares—twice the area compared to the same period last year. The Spanish government declared a state of emergency last week due to a widespread wave of fires that have destroyed regions including Madrid, A Coruña, Toledo, and eastern Valencia.
