Overview

• Fire crews report Galicia’s largest blazes stabilized or controlled, with Ourense declaring no active fires and the Xunta tallying roughly 96,000 hectares burned in the region.
• The Fasgar–Igüeña complex in León remains the country’s most persistent front after more than three weeks of activity, with some favorable sectors but fresh wind-driven runs complicating full containment.
• A new level‑2 fire triggered the evacuation of Berlanga del Bierzo, later brought under control, and the Guardia Civil detained a 20‑year‑old suspected of intentional arson.
• Hundreds of brigadistas, agents and unions rallied outside the Cortes to demand a year‑round public operative and resignations, as EL PAÍS reported ignored offers from agents to cut short vacations, a claim the regional ministry labeled a hoax.
• Mañueco defended the response before lawmakers, cited 141,000 hectares burned in Castilla y León through August 26, and announced a forthcoming decree on forest planning alongside a broad consultation process.
