A fast-moving wildfire in central Spain, about 100 km north of Madrid, is burning thousands of hectares in the Guadalajara province area, prompting evacuations and extensive firefighting efforts. Multiple outlets report that the fire started on Thursday in or near Guadalajara, an area that includes the Sierra Norte Natural Park, and is described by authorities as difficult and complex to manage. Reported damage ranges from roughly 12,000 to 13,000 hectares, with some figures varying by update and coverage. Local authorities say no deaths have been reported so far. Evacuations involve several hundred residents in the immediate Madrid-area threat zone, with some reporting figures around the 600 range and others citing up to about 700 people. Separately, at least one source describes a wider regional emergency involving other fires and larger numbers of people fleeing in the broader Madrid region and nearby provinces, contributing to a high-pressure firefighting and evacuation posture. Firefighters continue operations as containment efforts progress, while officials provide ongoing updates on the fire’s spread and impacts.
