Overview

• The fire has burned over 12,000 hectares and spans a 140-kilometer perimeter, making it the only active wildfire still uncontrolled in Extremadura.
• Forecasts of a roughly 5 °C temperature drop and humidity nearing 70 percent underpin plans to transition to active attack.
• The northern sector around Rebollar continues to lack any “capacity of extinction,” prompting ongoing evacuations and raising the risk of crossing into Castilla y León.
• Some 315 personnel, about 20 aerial units, UME and BRIF teams are engaged alongside a German contingent of 65 firefighters mobilized through the EU Civil Protection Mechanism.
• Officials and experts characterize Jarilla as a fifth/sixth-generation high-intensity fire capable of generating its own weather, underscoring evolving wildfire threats.
