Wildfires in Spain

Overview

Multiple wildfires have been reported across different regions of Spain, prompting emergency responses and local disruptions.

In early September, fires occurred in Tendilla and Culleredo. The Tendilla blaze involved vegetation near residential areas, resulting in five men being treated for smoke inhalation. In Culleredo, a fire near Alvedro Airport during local festivities required helicopter deployment and precautionary evacuations due to dense smoke, though airport operations were not affected.

By mid-September, new fires were reported in Derio and Tarifa. In Derio, a fire in an abandoned urbanized area near Bilbao Airport was extinguished after nine hours of firefighting, with no impact on flight operations. In Tarifa, high winds exceeding 70 km/h complicated efforts to contain a fire near the La Vega industrial estate, leading to traffic diversions and the rescheduled closing of the Real Feria.
