View of the burned land, on August 17, 2025, in Soto de Viñuelas, Tres Cantos, Madrid (Spain). The real explanation is not "so miraculous": this tree is the only one in the area that provides shade for cattle, and cows usually take refuge there. In doing so, they eat the vegetation and trample the ground, leaving the land bare of grass. This natural clearing of the ground acted as a firebreak, preventing the flames from reaching the tree and saving both the cows and the small green patch around it, while the whole environment burned. It is a symbol of hope after the tragedy of the fire that devastated Tres Cantos last August 11, but it also serves to raise awareness of the importance of grazing and forest management to avoid such destructive forest fires.

View of the fire, on August 19, 2025, in Puerto de San Glorio, León, Castilla y León (Spain). Although the fires are under control, both the Government of Castilla y León and the Government of Cantabria maintain the Potential Severity Index 2 (IGR) and continue the preventive and extinction works. On the León side of Picos de Europa, access is still prohibited and citizens are asked to avoid the area of Valdeón, the closest to the active outbreaks. On the other hand, on the Cantabrian slope, the situation is favorable with weather conditions that favor the extinction work. For this reason, the Government of Cantabria has reopened the Fuente Dé cable car. Photo by Xuan Cueto / Europa Press/ABACAPRESS.COM
