Overview

• Mexico City’s Colonia Morelos warehouse fire and a market blaze in Colonia Centro have been contained with no injuries reported, and authorities continue to investigate their causes.
• In Marseille, a wildfire near Pennes-Mirabeau has forced closure of Aix Marseille Provence Airport, suspended all civilian flights and confined residents in northern districts as crews battle the blaze.
• In Catalonia, the Paüls forest fire has consumed over 3,100 hectares and led to the confinement of about 18,000 people while regional authorities and the UME work to contain its spread.
• Three additional wildfires in El Perelló, Sant Pere Sallavinera and Tremp have erupted on the same day, further challenging the Bomberos de la Generalitat’s capacity and prompting local confinement recommendations.
• These simultaneous incidents have stretched fire brigade resources, prompting mutual-aid deployments and high-level coordination between civil protection, military emergency units and local fire services.
