The fire of Loporzano enters the Sierra de Guara: they activate the UME and evict San Julián de Banzo and Chibluco

A wildfire broke out in Loporzano, near Huesca and close to the Sierra and Cañones de Guara Natural Park, and has expanded significantly during the night. The regional government of Aragon activated the Unidad Militar de Emergencias (UME) and evacuated two towns, San Julián de Banzo and Chibluco, affecting around 30 residents. The fire has burned approximately 200 hectares, with 40 hectares inside the natural park. Initially, authorities claimed the fire posed no threat to urban areas, but changing winds forced evacuations and elevated the emergency response level. Efforts continue to contain the blaze, which has divided into two sectors for firefighting operations. The road between Barluenga and San Julián de Banzo remains closed, and security forces monitor access to prevent unauthorized entry.

The fire of Castellón is out of control, enters the natural park of the sierra de Espadán and forces the eviction of 500 people

A wildfire declared at midday on Sunday between the municipalities of Soneja and Azuébar in Castellón province has gotten out of control and forced the mobilization of the UME and fifteen aerial units along with ground crews for firefighting efforts. By late afternoon, the fire had entered the Sierra de Espadán Natural Park and led to the evacuation of 500 people from the town of Azuébar in the Alto Palancia region. At night, with aerial units withdrawn, the fire remains uncontrollable and has affected 150 hectares of land, primarily forested areas. The Valencian Government has activated Situation 2 under the Special Forest Fire Plan, which requires extraordinary state resources and protective measures. Over 220 ground personnel and up to 18 aerial units have been involved during the day. Smoke forced evacuations, with some residents staying overnight at the Segorbe Seminary while others stayed with friends or family. The Puerto de Sagunto was closed to allow aerial units to refill with water. Some livestock owners were unable to access their farms due to the intensity of the flames.
