Forest fires in Fermosell (Zamora), Madrid, Ávila and Vall d'Uixo (Castellón) show positive developments during the night, high temperatures, wind waves and extreme fire hazards mark a day this Thursday. 

In Zamora, the extinction services do not envisage full control of the fire today. In this regard, the head of the Territorial Environmental Service of the Commission, Mariano Rodríguez, has warned that the risk remains high due to the "high winds".

As for the South and West fronts, there are still four active sectors, as detailed by the Zamora Environment Officer. "Climate forecasts are very bad , and we cannot be optimistic in the short term, "although" the danger has been significantly reduced. "

On the other hand, in the western range of the Communityof Madrid , the perimeter of the fire has been fixed and hot spots have been refreshed throughout the night. Although the fire is stabilized and flamless, the Government Delegation warns that the heat wave raises the risk to extreme levels and forces maximum surveillance over the new foci, especially around the Cofio River. 

The fire ofAvila , which has burned 50,000 hectares, has been reported to be "technically stabilized".

The Vall d'Uixo (Castellón) fire is on its sixth day today
