The smoke from the La Mierla wildfire has reached the Community of Madrid, with residents reporting a distinct smell of ash through their open windows. The fire, which began last week in Guadalajara province, continues to spread despite efforts to contain it. As of Tuesday, more than 32,000 hectares have been burned, according to recent reports, marking one of the largest wildfires in Spain's recent history. The situation has prompted authorities to issue warnings about air quality, particularly in Soria province, where the smog has led to restrictions on outdoor activities. The fire started in the municipality of La Mierla and quickly expanded due to strong winds. Over the past days, the blaze has moved toward the peak of Alto Rey and is currently advancing along its crest. Authorities have confirmed that the fire is still far from being controlled, with conditions remaining extremely dangerous. Wind speeds are expected to remain high throughout the day, reaching up to 50 kilometers per hour, while humidity levels stay low and temperatures continue to rise. These factors contribute to the rapid spread of the flames, making containment efforts increasingly challenging. More than 33 towns have been evacuated, including several in Guadalajara province such as Albendiego, where the fire reached earlier this evening. Among these evacuated areas is the town of Albendiego, home to the Romanesque-style chapel of Santa Coloma. In addition to the evacuated towns, five others have been placed under confinement. The number of affected communities continues to grow, with the latest update indicating that 40 towns have been displaced. This includes locations such as Almiruete, Palancares, Semillas, La Nava de Jadraque, Muriel, Umbralejo, Arroyo de las Fraguas, Navas de Jadraque, El Ordial, Zarzuela de Jadraque, Villares de Jadraque, Bustares, Veguillas, Prádena de Atienza, Gascueña de Bornova, Robledo de Corpes, Aldeanueva de Atienza, Naharros, La Bodera, Ríofrío de Llano, Cardeñosa, Angón, Santiuste, Rebollosa de Jadraque, Angón, Hiendelaencina, San Andrés de Congosto, Congostrina, La Huerce, Valdepinillos, Albendiego, Somolinos, Alpedroches, Miedes de Atienza, Hijes, Bañuelos, Romanillos de Atienza, Casillas, and Bochones. Efforts to combat the fire have included coordinated actions involving local tractor operators who were called upon to help create firebreaks. These efforts took place in areas such as Cañamares, located east of Atienza, where the fire was moving rapidly. The work was carried out under the coordination of professionals from the INFOCAM plan, with calls made through social media to ensure community participation. Despite these measures, the fire remains active in multiple fronts, with some sectors showing signs of reduced activity. Authorities have indicated that there might be a window of opportunity during the night of Sunday to Monday, thanks to lower temperatures and changing wind patterns. This period could allow for consolidation of firebreaks using heavy machinery, manual tools, hose laying, and controlled burns where conditions permit. The UME (Unidad Militar de Emergencias) has increased its capabilities with additional equipment and ground-based drones, continuing to bring in new personnel throughout the week. In response to the evolving situation, the regional government has begun considering allowing residents to return to certain municipalities where the fire is believed to have subsided. This decision comes after a shift in strategy towards offensive operations aimed at containing the fire within its boundaries. Officials have expressed cautious optimism regarding the success of current strategies, noting that progress has been made in achieving key objectives, including protecting lives and minimizing further expansion of the fire. The fire has also impacted nearby regions, with the smoke affecting air quality in Soria province. Local authorities have advised limiting outdoor activities due to concerns over particulate pollution, which could worsen with potential dust intrusion from North Africa. Meanwhile, mining operations in Naharros have been suspended to avoid disruptions caused by road closures related to evacuation routes. Several summer camps scheduled in areas away from the fire zone have also been canceled to prevent large numbers of people from being evacuated unnecessarily. As the situation develops, officials continue to monitor the fire’s progression and assess the effectiveness of containment efforts. With the fire still posing significant risks, the focus remains on ensuring public safety and implementing measures to mitigate further damage.
