Dense column of black smoke rising from a fire in an old abandoned scrapyard, next to a motorcycle security corps, on May 30, 2025, in Almassora, Castellón, Valencian Community (Spain). The fire affects a warehouse where tons of compacted textile waste are stored, which has complicated the extinguishing work and forced the nearby industrial estate to be evacuated as a precaution. The fire is being extinguished by six firefighting teams, two heavy engines, a helicopter, forest firefighting units and coordination teams.

It is the 31st year for Huang Tongwei to work as a fire lookout on a fire-lookout tower built in 1991 and perched on a peak of a mountain in Rongjiang County, Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture, Guizhou Province. In 1992, Huang became the fire lookout here and has been responsible for spotting forest fires over an area of more than 80,000 mu (about 5,333 hectares) and preventing illegal logging in certain areas. After marriage, his wife Wu Zaiqiong has become his capable assistant and served as a volunteer fire lookout as well. "Although observing the forests is not an arduous work, we need to be patient, vigilant and accurate," said Huang. During fires seasons, "My wife and I will take turns eating meals. Sometimes we need to keep alerting while eating," said Huang.
