Overview

• Emergency services responded to a June 20 fire in Olivenza that killed a two-year-old girl and to a separate blaze in Mérida early June 21 that claimed a 58-year-old woman, with both sites now under forensic examination.
• A major fire at the LEA factory in Vitoria on June 20 sent multi-meter flames and explosions into the air, prompted evacuation of nearby facilities and neighborhood confinement, but resulted in no injuries.
• LEA has acknowledged substantial material losses at its Vitoria plant, and investigators are examining whether work by a chemical tanker truck ignited the industrial blaze.
• An agricultural fire that began June 21 in Granyena de Segarra charred nearly 473 hectares of farmland, woodland and protected natural area, forced confinement of Cervera and neighboring villages and was declared controlled early June 22.
• Regional fire brigades, police and civil protection units have maintained ground and aerial resources to seek out hotspots and have opened formal probes under emergency frameworks such as Catalonia’s Infocat plan.
