Móstoles welcomes fire evacuees between films and paellas: "We were given an hour to leave; the fire passed by the village"

The Polideportivo Paco Sedano in Móstoles has become a central hub for accommodating residents evacuated due to wildfires affecting the Sierra West area of Madrid. The facility was set up with 200 beds to house the first wave of displaced families, with additional capacity prepared if needed. Local volunteer groups, including the Federation of Peñas, provided hot meals such as meat and vegetable paella, ensuring dietary needs were respected, including those of Muslim and vegetarian individuals. Efforts were made to comfort children by showing movies and providing recreational activities. Residents like Ana Rosa Martínez and Agustín Franco described being given just one hour’s notice before evacuation, leading to widespread panic and rapid displacement of approximately 1,800 people via emergency buses.

The article discusses the volunteer members of the Protection Civil in Villamanta, a town in the Community of Madrid, who played a crucial role during a severe flood in September 2023. The event caused significant damage, including flooded rivers, collapsed bridges, and extensive property destruction, resulting in nearly 60 million euros in damages and two fatalities. These volunteers, part of the local emergency plan, were instrumental in evacuation efforts, providing food, support, and emotional comfort to residents. Their dedication has led to their recognition as a valuable resource by local authorities. In recent days, they have again been mobilized to assist during wildfires affecting nearby areas, continuing their commitment to community safety.
