The fire in Burgohondo (Ávila), declared on July 22nd and considered the largest in Spain's history with over 50,000 hectares burned, is in a "favorable" situation thanks to the thermal drop and increased humidity. The Junta de Castilla y León expects "reactivations" of lesser intensity that will be attended to "quickly".
In La Mierla (Guadalajara), the fire declared on July 16th, which affected around 32,000 hectares, has been reported as controlled. However, "active surveillance" will be maintained due to the possibility of "some hotspots" within the perimeter, as communicated by the delegate of the Junta in Guadalajara, Rosa María García. This fire has had "serious economic consequences" in the area, with an "avalanche of cancellations" in rural tourism establishments.
