More than 350,000 hectares have been burned in forest fires in Spain since the beginning of August
There are still about 20 active foci in Castilla León, Galicia and Extremadura, and the wind is making it difficult to extinguish the fire at various points, while the rain that has fallen in the last few hours in northern León has helped to control the flames around the Peaks of Europe. On the other hand, the firefighters displaced from the ACV have taken their way home.

Since 7 August, more than 350,000 hectares have been burned, according to data provided this Wednesday by the EFFIS agency under the European Union programme, Copernicus, most of them in Castilla y León, Galicia and Extremadura.
In Galicia, where more than 88,300 hectares have been burned in the last two weeks, there are currently at least six active foci in the province of Ourense. What is most worrying is the fire in Larouco, which is still unsuffocated after a week. On the contrary, it is generally in good condition in the territory and shows that yesterday the high-speed train between Galicia and Madrid was restored.
Especiallyin Extremadura, they continue to watch the fire in Jarilla (Cáceres). The winds have reinforced the flames and are approaching the Jerte Valley. They have also issued a warning for the evacuation of the town of La Garganta, on the border between Extremadura and Castilla y León.
Leon's situation has improved, especially around the Peaks of Europe, helped by rain and moisture, but about 2,000 people are still out of their homes.
On the contrary, the wind has blown flames in many other places, and the inhabitants of Igueña have had to be evacuated.
Yesterday, there were five active spotlights in Asturias, seven controlled fires and two stabilized, according to local emergency services.
On the other hand, the firefighters who had come from the ACV to quell the fire have taken their way home.
