Active fires in Peña Montañesa, near Ordesa, and Jánovas after a day with four fires in Huesca

The province of Huesca continues to face two active wildfires this Thursday, following a day marked by four fires in the Aragonese Pyrenees. The fires in Jánovas and Peña Montañesa remain under active suppression efforts, while those in Castanesa and La Fueva have been controlled. The most recent fire in Jánovas involves three helicopter crews supported by firefighting helicopters and an amphibious plane from Valencia. The regional minister, Roberto Bermúdez de Castro, described the fire as localized in a steep area with dense pine forests, making access difficult. He noted that although the fire is complex, it is expected to progress slowly. Meanwhile, the fire in Peña Montañesa, near the Ordesa and Monte Perdido National Park, is moving toward rocky terrain with less fuel, which could aid stabilization. Overall, eight wildfires were reported in Aragón, with five in Huesca and three in Teruel, though the fires in Teruel were minor compared to those in the Pyrenees.
