The fires in Castile and Leon are of the highest level of severity despite positive developments

Castile and Leon will begin the weekwith six of the most serious forest fires, although some fronts have improved. Rising temperatures, lower humidity and wind make it difficult to extinguish forest fires , causing them to reignite in already affected areas. Instead, the situation in Asturias is different, where the three most dangerous fires have already been stabilized.

The worst is the situation in the province of León, where five fires are active: Fasgar, La Baña, Igueña, Garaño and Molinaseca, the latter two declared on Sunday and which have been very violent, forcing the preventive evacuation of more than 700 residents from twelve villages.

In Zamora, the fire in Porto remains at its highest level, although it seems to evolve well, despite entering the Natural Park of the Lake of Sanabria and extending to La Baña (León), areas where they can still pose a risk to the population. The risk of other forest fires in Palencia, León and Almansa has been reduced and the level of gravity has been reduced, but they remain under surveillance.

The Commission of Castile and Leon has put in place a comprehensive device throughout the community, warning that the weatherconditions of the next few days may aggravate the situation .
