Spain faces this Thursday a new day marked by the large forest fires. The fire in Niebla, in Huelva, shows a more favorable evolution, although it remains active, while the fire in Las Peñas de Riglos, in Huesca, continues to be one of the main sources of concern due to its advance and the affected area.
The Aragonese fire has already reached about 5,700 hectares and has forced the evacuation of several population centers. The evolution of the fire continues to be conditioned by high temperatures, wind, and the complicated topography of the area.
Niebla improves, but the fire remains active
The fire declared in Niebla, Huelva, maintains a more favorable evolution than in previous days. The fire, which also affects the province of Sevilla, remains active after having exceeded 31,000 hectares affected, according to the latest reports released.
The improvement in the situation does not yet mean the end of the emergency. The firefighting teams continue to work on the ground to contain the fire and prevent meteorological conditions from favoring its spread again.
Las Peñas de Riglos exceeds 5,700 hectares
The fire in Las Peñas de Riglos, in Huesca, maintains a more complicated evolution. The affected area is now around 5,705 hectares and the fire remains active.
The flames have forced new evacuations and maintain a wide emergency response deployed. The evolution of the fire is conditioned by the wind and high temperatures, which can favor new advances of the front.
The situation of this fire will continue to be one of the main references of the day, while the firefighting teams work to halt its advance and protect the populations located in its surroundings.
