Niebla forest fire stabilized after destroying 38,000 hectares in Andalusia
Major forest fires have been reported across different regions. In Andalusia, Spain, the Niebla fire in Huelva has been stabilized after ten days of intense fighting. The blaze affected over 38,000 hectares across eleven municipalities in Huelva and Seville, creating a perimeter of 210 kilometers. This event is considered one of the most complex and extensive fires in the region's recent history. Following stabilization, the Military Emergencies Unit (UME) has begun to withdraw, and the 417 residents who were evacuated have been permitted to return to their homes.
Additionally, the fire in Niebla caused significant environmental damage, reportedly destroying approximately 80% of the Pata del Caballo natural area. In Huesca, Spain, the Riglos fire has affected 17,500 hectares, with efforts continuing despite recent rainfall and high temperatures.
In Argentina, a forest fire in the Piedras Azules area of Villa de Soto was contained after an operation involving firefighters and aerial support. The fire primarily affected low grasslands and did not pose a direct threat to residential areas.
