Fire in Zamora Remains Active - Spain

Firefighting teams during the extinction of the forest fire, on August 24, 2025, in La Bana, Encinedo, La Cabrera, Leon, Castilla y Leon (Spain). The evolution of the forest fire coming from Porto (Zamora) has been "favorable" during the night, although the area of the summit divide between Zamora and Leon and on the slope of La Bana, which was evacuated on Saturday afternoon, has been activated. The air and land resources are working to stop the advance of a fire in which there is still an active front in the Tera Canyon, which is not very intense or advancing rapidly, but is expected to last several days due to the difficulty of extinction in that area.
