Overview

• Residents were preventively evacuated from Villamayor and Villarcebollín, and officials recommended voluntary departures in Dou, Andeo, Piñeira and Centenales due to heavy smoke.
• The fire ignited around 18:10 Tuesday near the San Antolín pool in Ibias, and investigators are treating an intentional origin as a possibility.
• Regional president Adrián Barbón said this is the fastest-advancing fire since the August 12 outbreak of wildfires, with winds hindering suppression.
• Bomberos de Asturias, the UME, Brif crews, volunteers and multiple helicopters are engaged; aircraft stand down overnight while heavy machinery fortifies lines and crews hold firebreaks.
• The Red Cross activated its ERIE shelter and psychosocial teams for evacuees, UME and Brif set up three 12,000–16,000 liter water tanks for refilling, and authorities report eight fires in Asturias with six still active.
