Spain’s firefighters are locked in a desperate battle against one of the country’s largest wildfires in recent history, burning over 32,000 hectares in Guadalajara and forcing the evacuation of 34 villages. Though no deaths have been reported yet, the blaze—now in its seventh day—has already matched the decade’s annual burn total and comes just after another deadly fire killed 13 people. With over 200 firefighters and aircraft on the ground, officials aim to contain it by Friday. The prime minister is using the crisis to push for a national climate pact, as extreme heat across Europe fuels rapid fire spread and triggers water restrictions in the UK and beyond. One mayor even hailed the firefighters’ courage as heroic, comparing them to World Cup champions.
