Overview
- ADIF reported two separate rail interruptions the same day when fires threatened tracks, with a morning incident between Vigo‑Guixar and Redondela quickly extinguished and a later active closure between Frieira and Filgueira blocking Vigo–Ourense services.
- The Consellería de Medio Rural said the Crecente blaze began around 17:30, remains active over an estimated six to seven hectares, and is being fought with helicopters, planes, ground brigades, motobombas and heavy machinery.
- 112 Galicia and local emergency teams put out a small trackside vegetation fire earlier in the day using portable extinguishers, which allowed ADIF to restore service shortly afterward between Vigo‑Guixar and Redondela.
- Two days before these interruptions, the Consellería reported that sparks from a regional train started up to eight separate fires in the province of Ourense, and investigators are still determining which operator ran the train.
- Conventional medium‑distance lines run closer to vegetation and are more exposed to wildfire risk, so further disruptions are likely until suppression ends and the probe into train‑related ignitions clarifies safety and operational controls.
