Spanish PM emphasizes saving lives amid wildfires
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez announced that the government's priority in facing the raging wildfires near Madrid is saving lives, warning that extinguishing the fires will be a complex task. A national state of emergency has been declared in Madrid and Ávila to coordinate resources, with more than 10,000 people evacuated since the fires began. Since Thursday, the flames have consumed about 32,000 hectares in the Guadalajara region, totaling 125,000 hectares this year—compared to 393,000 hectares in 2024. Authorities are grappling with unstable weather conditions, including decreasing temperatures and changing winds, which are making it harder to control the fires.
