Overview

• Medio Rural reports the fires of Carballeda de Valdeorras, Vilar de Cervos (Vilardevós) and Carballeda de Avia have been extinguished, with the remaining large Ourense and Lugo fronts under control.
• Damage tallies diverge, with the Xunta citing nearly 96,000 hectares burned versus more than 140,000 estimated by Copernicus, across 62 municipalities with 144 homes destroyed, about 50 of them inhabited.
• The Xunta approved immediate compensation and will staff 16 offices in Ourense to take applications from Monday, alongside emergency erosion-control work on burned slopes with Army support.
• Political pressure intensifies as BNG seeks Alfonso Rueda’s resignation and PSdeG-PSOE considers taking the response to prosecutors, while Rueda acknowledges some firefighting resources stood idle during critical periods.
• Beyond Galicia, a wildfire in Lubrín (Almería) remains active with expanded Infoca air operations and early indications of a faulty power line as a possible cause, and Castilla y León lifted evacuations as most fires there stabilized or were controlled with a 20-year-old detained in one case.
