The fire in La Mierla enters "a phase of reasonable optimism" and the relocations begin: "There is a lot of sadness, but at least the flames did not enter the village"

A major wildfire originating in the municipality of La Mierla, which has burned over 32,000 hectares, is showing signs of improvement. After days of intense flames and smoke, some residents have begun returning to their homes. The president of Castilla-La Mancha, Emiliano García-Page, announced during a meeting of the CECOPI committee that the situation has entered a 'phase of reasonable optimism.' While the fire remains under control, five towns have started to welcome back residents, with La Mierla potentially joining them soon. García-Page emphasized that recovery efforts include restoring basic services like water supply, as many small municipalities rely on natural wells affected by the blaze. He noted that while progress is being made, caution is still necessary due to expected strong winds.

A wildfire originating in La Mierla has destroyed approximately 32,000 hectares, making it the largest recorded fire in the history of Castilla-La Mancha and the most severe fire declared this year in Spain. Despite the ongoing active fire in the Sierra Norte region and the perimeter remaining unstable, the Diputación de Guadalajara is accused by the Partido Popular (PP) of keeping heavy machinery idle at their facilities in Alovera. The PP claims this equipment could be used to secure municipal boundaries, operate in various areas, and halt the spread of flames.
