Overview

• The national coordination committee reported that steady rain and calmer winds brought a significant improvement, with six level‑2 fires in León and Zamora evolving favorably and a separate fire in Lubrín (Almería) active under situation 1.
• Galicia said all current fires are under control, with several major blazes extinguished, including Carballeda de Valdeorras, as the region tallies its most devastating August in decades.
• Castilla y León lifted the last confinements in Igüeña and Colinas del Campo and downgraded the Fasgar complex to level 1, while other fires such as Yeres and Anllares were stabilized and Berlanga declared extinguished.
• A royal decree published in the Boletín Oficial del Estado obliges autonomous communities to identify strategic management points, plan targeted biomass removal, and define singular action areas to strengthen prevention.
• European monitoring shows over one million hectares burned across the EU this year; Spain’s provisional government tally is about 362,000 hectares with at least eight deaths, early aid procedures underway, and police reporting 57 arrests and 142 people under investigation since June.
