Firefighters in Spain’s Almería province gain ground against a fast-moving wildfire that has caused fatalities and forced large-scale evacuations. According to reports, the blaze has burned about 66 square kilometres and killed 12 people. After several days of fighting the fire, firefighters make significant progress and the situation begins to improve, allowing movement back into affected areas. About 600 people—out of nearly 1,500 who were evacuated from the fire zone—are permitted to return home. Other evacuees remain displaced as authorities continue fire-fighting operations and monitor conditions to ensure it is safe to go back. The accounts describe the development as an easing of the blaze rather than a complete resolution, with containment efforts still ongoing. The remaining evacuees continue to receive shelter and guidance while crews work to prevent further spread. The reports present a gradual shift toward stabilization, with the first stage of re-entry reflecting improved control by emergency services.
