Spanish authorities have authorized the return of thousands of residents evacuated due to widespread wildfires, with approximately 24,000 people in the Madrid region permitted to go home while restrictions were lifted for another 20,000 individuals [1]. The authorization comes as Spain faces the aftermath of the Burgohondo fire, its largest on record, which has destroyed over 43,000 hectares of land and forced 40,000 people to evacuate from their homes [1]. The fire's perimeter extends across 180 kilometers [1].
However, the reprieve may be short-lived as a fourth heatwave is forecast to sweep across the region, raising fresh concerns about fire recurrence in Spain and France [1]. Southern France is expected to experience temperatures reaching 41 degrees Celsius [1]. Spanish Prime Minister Sánchez has warned that the next 12 hours will be "critical," as officials caution that elevated temperatures, low humidity, and strong winds pose significant risks for renewed wildfire activity [1]. In the Almería region, the Los Gallardos fire has claimed 14 lives, with one woman succumbing to her injuries in hospital [1].
