Those barricaded in front of the fire who disobey the evacuation order: "I'm burning with my goats"

Residents of Cadalso de los Vidrios, a municipality in Madrid, were ordered to evacuate due to a wildfire but some chose to stay behind to protect their homes, livestock, and livelihoods. One elderly resident, Lucia, claims she was unaware of the evacuation order and remained in her home despite others leaving. Many locals, particularly farmers, refused to comply with the authorities' instructions, arguing that they would rather risk their lives than abandon their animals and property. Some described the situation as desperate, stating that while firefighters face danger, they are risking their lives to save their livelihoods. Similar scenes unfolded in other affected towns like Cenicientos and Sotillo de la Adrada, where residents stayed behind to safeguard their farms and animals.
