Overview

• Authorities report the blaze is stabilized after scorching about 3,000 hectares in Guadalajara and an estimated 200–240 hectares in Segovia, surpassing the province’s total burned area in 2024.
• Evacuations in La Pinilla and Riofrío de Riaza have been lifted, and officials say there is no current risk to populated areas.
• Access routes into the affected Segovian mountain zone remain closed to general traffic to prioritize fire operations, with passage allowed for residents and workers.
• Nighttime containment improved with recent rain and higher humidity, as the UME and Ministry crews supported autonomous community firefighters.
• Firefighters’ unions criticize the initial response, alleging Guadalajara had deactivated about 70% of its operative before the incident and citing coordination and logistics shortfalls.
