Overview
- A Diputación Provincial de Zaragoza (DPZ) firefighter died while fighting a fast-growing workshop fire in Calatorao, and emergency crews report at least one other injured person in the building.
- Local authorities issued urgent evacuation and shelter-in-place orders because the workshop blaze produced a dense toxic smoke plume that forced closure of the nearby A-122 and advice to seal homes.
- A wildfire in Pinofranqueado (Las Hurdes, Cáceres) escalated through Infocaex response levels and led the UME to join the operation as roughly 300 to 600 people were moved from threatened hamlets.
- A separate forest fire near Ponteareas (Pontevedra) burned more than 20 hectares and mobilized a large air and ground fleet including multiple helicopters, planes and dozens of crews.
- Separately, the long-running San Cipriano del Condado (León) blaze that began July 29 was declared extinguished after affecting about 1,531 hectares, underscoring how varied fire durations and the heavy summer campaign strain regional resources.
