Spain's regional authorities have authorized residents of seventeen localities in Zamora and Castellón to return to their homes.

The measure comes into force today after a significant improvement in ground conditions and progress in extinction tasks, Telesur reported.

The rugged geography of the Arribes del Duero Natural Park slows down the brigades' land advance and limits the rapid deployment of reinforcements.

The fire declared in Madrid has a stabilized perimeter after razing 27,000 hectares. Air equipment and equipment above the ground carry out soaking work to prevent the reactivation of flames while the heat wave persists.

The official balance sheets number 1,580 homes included in the burned area that covers the provinces of Madrid and Ávila. Emergency personnel maintain active surveillance in the face of high temperatures and insist on recommending extreme precautions among citizens.
