The conselleira do Medio Rural, María José Gomez, has explained that the flames of this forest fire burned several houses and, although the situation improved with respect to yesterday, there are points of "much complexity" since the areas of the ravines that fall towards the river Sil are now active. In addition, the 17 people who were evacuated during the night in the nucleus of Abelairas returned to their homes after being forced to vacate them because of the proximity of the fire, in Panton, Spain, on September 20, 2025.
