Spain, major fire battles, even as the thermal wave decline with low temperatures Climate crisis news

Spain It treats many major forest fires in one of the most destructive firefighting seasons in decades, and is nourished by climate change, as the end of a 16 -day heat wave of 16 -day and the expected precipitation has proven to be the end of the horizon.

Thousands of firefighters continued with the help of soldiers and planes that collide with water on Tuesday, fighting the fires that were torn by the forests, which were particularly severe in northwestern Spain, where the country’s weather agency reported the danger of a fire “still high or extremist”-especially in the Galicia region.

The authorities suspended railway services and cut off roads in Extreadura, Galicia, Castile and Leon.

The Ministry of Interior in Spain announced that fire control units from Germany arrived in northern Spain on Tuesday to help fight fire. The ministry said that more than 20 vehicles were deployed to help fight the continuous fire in Garrala in the Icedura area, which borders Portugal.

Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, who visited fires at Extreadura, said that the government will announce that many areas affected as emergency areas, which means in practice it will be eligible to receive assistance in reconstruction.

Blame fires on the effects of climate change, and he also said that he would propose a plan next month to transform climate emergency policies into permanent state policies.

He said: “We are witnessing the acceleration of emergency in the climate and a significant increase, especially in the Iberian Peninsula, every year.”

The opposition leaders said his proposal is a way to turn attention from his poor treatment of fires.

AEMET, which announced on Monday the end of one of the longest heat waves in the past five decades, expects that temperatures and humidity will decrease. However, he said that harmful conditions will remain in southern Spain, including in part of Extreadura.

Fires in Spain killed four people this year and burned more than 3,82,000 hectares (944,000 acres) or about 3820 square kilometers (1,475 square meters), according to the European Union Forest Fire Information system (EFFIS).

Several fires were operated due to human activity. The Civil Guard in Spain said that the police detained 23 people because of the suspects of the deliberate burning while investigating 89 others.

The Spanish army has deployed 3400 soldiers and 50 aircraft to help firefighters, while the Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, the Netherlands and Slovakia sent hundreds of firefighters, vehicles and aircraft.

Along the Iberian Peninsula in PortugalMore than 3,700 firefighters dealt with fires, including four, the most important in the north and the center.

Forest fires there burned about 235,000 hectares or 907 square miles, according to EFFIS-approximately five times more than average 2006-2024 for this period. Two people died there.

“The destruction (of forest fires) is enormous, it seems like a terrible scene.”

Galigo said: “What anxiety for the firefighters is not only the extinguishing of the fire, which was out of control … but also the danger of the covenant,” Galigo said.

She pointed out that there is another challenge facing firefighters, which is to reach “water source close enough, as they can collect water and extinguish these fire.”

Most southern Europe witnesses one of the worst seasons of forest fires in two decades.

Europe has been rising by bounce as soon as possible in the global average since the 1980s, according to the service of climate change in Copernicus in the European Union. Scientists say climate change increases the frequency, intensity of heat and drought in parts of Europe, making the region more vulnerable to forest fires.
