Hundreds battle new mega-wildfire in Spain

A large wildfire near Guadalajara, approximately 100 km north of Madrid, continued to rage on July 21, 2026, with over 600 firefighters and 29 aircraft working to contain it. The blaze, which began in an isolated forest, has forced around 1,200 residents to evacuate and has scorched 29,000 hectares of land. Regional leaders noted that while efforts have slowed the fire's progress toward nearby towns, it remains uncontrolled due to factors like drought and abandoned vegetation. Authorities warned of rising temperatures, adding to concerns after a previous deadly wildfire in early July.
