Temperatures are falling and the fire situation is improving, but 22 fires are still alive

The end of the heat wave and the fall in temperatures have favoured extinction in Spain. In any case, 22fires are still alive in Galicia, Extremadura, Asturias and Castilla y León. 

The most worrying situation isin Extremadura  , where in the last few hours the fire of the Jarilla de Cáceres has jumped to Salamanca. After the return home of the citizens of Rebollar on Tuesday, only a few residents of Jerte, Tornavacas, Cabezuela and Hervas are out of their homes, according to sources from the Government of Extremadura.

In Galicia, on the other hand, seven fires remain outofcontrol, all  in Ourense. More than 67,500 hectares have already been burned by flames in this province, according to estimates by the Rural Environment Council .

The situation in Castilla y León has improved considerably in the last few hours, but there are still 16 major fires in force and thousands of people evacuated. All eyes are on the fires in Porto (Zamora), located in the Lake Sanabria Natural Park and north of León, which are the main sources of concern due to the evolution that is taking place. 

In Asturiasthe fires are also gradually decreasing, but they still have five fires alive, two fewer than last night.  In the last hours  the firefighters have managed to control seven fires and report that two others are stabilized.  The Degaña fire that has arrived from León is the most worrying.

Aagesen has called for "being united and stopping making noise."

The Minister for Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge, Sara Aagesen, has confirmed that the fall in temperatures and the entry of a mass of air fromthe west has given the situation a "certain calm" . 

He has also said that although he does not have specific data on the number of hectares burned, the figures will be very high and has once again asked to stop "making noise" because it is time to be "united".
