Overview

• Spain’s coordination committee reported 13 level‑2 fires active on Saturday, with only the Igüeña (León) front advancing unfavorably because terrain hampers ground access.
• Galicia’s largest recorded fire, Larouco (Ourense), was declared stabilized late morning, while Extremadura’s Jarilla blaze is stabilized at level 1 after burning about 17,300 hectares.
• Evacuations were lifted in parts of León and Zamora, yet officials still count 838 residents evacuated from 14 towns and 235 people confined across 11 localities.
• The national deployment includes the UME with about 1,200 personnel plus 850 supporting troops and around 40 state aircraft, as EU crews rotate to León and Zamora and others exit Extremadura.
• This summer’s fires have scorched more than 400,000 hectares nationwide, and police report 42 arrests and 132 people under investigation in probes into suspected fire offenses.
