The evolution of the fire is improving, but some of the spotlights are advancing and reproductions are emerging

The situation of forest fires in Spain has improved in the last few hours, but there are still 13 active foci : nine in Castilla y León (León and Zamora), three in Asturias and one in Galicia (Ourense and Lugo). The authorities have stressed that the expected weather conditions will help to extinguish the fire.

In Castilla y León, the fires of Yeres and Igüeña (León) remain stable. In Barniedo de la Reina , the campsite of El Cares and the port of Pandetrave are being protected. In Garaño, work is being done on the perimeter  to avoid reproductions. In Porto (Zamora), the defence of the people in San Cipría is being prioritized.

In Asturias, as a result of the fire in San Antolín de Ibías , 41 people from five areas have had to be evicted. The residents of Villamayor and Villarcebollin have been left out of their homes after forced evacuations. TheinhabitantsofPiñeira, Centenales and  Douko, who have voluntarily left their homes, have begun to return to their homes.

The other active fires in Asturias —Somiedo, Cangas del Narcea and Degaña— are stabilized or under control to prevent reproduction.

State and autonomous media continue to work in active areas such as the Forest Brigades, the Military Emergency Unit, firefighters, volunteers and air assets, as well as European resources from the Czech Republic, Slovakia, the Netherlands, Germany and Romania to assist in the extinction work. Since the start of the incident, more than 35,600 people have been evacuated and the surrounding villages have continued to be protected.
