Firefighters after the great fire crisis, who do not know if it will be the last: It seems that the monster has fallen asleep

A massive wildfire, described as the largest and most complex in Spain's history, has begun to subside after five days of intense firefighting efforts. Covering over 50,000 hectares, the fire has challenged firefighters due to unpredictable wind patterns and dry vegetation, making containment extremely difficult. Firefighters report that this event was unlike anything they have encountered in their careers, with some describing the situation as chaotic. Despite the challenges, teams from various regions have worked together to combat the blaze, though coordination issues have occasionally arisen. The fire remains active in parts of Ávila, with sporadic flare-ups suggesting the threat is not yet fully over.

Bordeaux's outskirts, on edge due to the fires: We know that at any moment we will have to leave

Since Friday, the brothers Florian and Damien Oriol and their cousin Thibault have turned their pizzeria in Léognan, about twenty kilometers from Bordeaux, into a supply point for firefighters battling a massive fire that broke out on Wednesday in the Gironde department. The pizzeria is usually closed on Sundays, but since firefighters do not rest, they remain open to prepare daily orders. The article highlights the community support provided to emergency workers during the ongoing wildfire crisis.
