Spain mobilizes to protect historic monastery
The authorities in Spain have mobilized the largest number of civil defense personnel to combat a forest fire threatening a historic monastery dating back to the tenth century in the Aragón region. The fire broke out last Monday and caused a breach in the surrounding lands, with the flames spreading to 16,600 hectares, and more than a thousand people being evacuated from nearby areas. A large portion of the fire has been brought under control thanks to the efforts of 1,000 firefighters and 35 to 40 aircraft, while firefighting teams continue to work to minimize damage amid challenging weather conditions, including high temperatures and volatile winds. This fire is among the largest in the region's history and comes during a heatwave that has led to repeated fires across Spain, emphasizing the importance of protecting historical sites and the natural environment.
