Carballeda Fire Burns 700 Hectares of Land - Spain

View of the burned mountain range, on September 7, 2025, in Casaio, Ourense, Galicia (Spain). The fire in Carballeda de Valdeorras, declared on the afternoon of Saturday, September 6, in the parish of Casaio, advances this Sunday towards an area where the fire is "more controllable". The fire already burns about 700 hectares, according to the latest estimates of the Consellería do Medio Rural, and is also located in a terrain "more accessible" than the one that devastated more than 5,000 hectares in August in the same locality. The fire started in two distant points and, in the terrain between them, other outbreaks emerged, which suggests that "it was not accidental", and therefore it was possibly intentional.

Meanwhile, the rest of the provinces remain without significant changes: 1,346 hectares in Pontevedra, 1,175 in A Coruña and 611 in Lugo. Nationally, Copernicus estimates that, so far this year, 403,171 hectares have burned in Spain and the vast majority burned in the month of August.

Spain Gripped by Violent Wildfires

Spain Gripped by Violent Wildfires

Several cows surround the 'miracle' tree, 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.
