The Community of Madrid is under an extreme forest fire risk alert this Tuesday, September 22, as reported by the 112 Emergency Center.

The forecast, developed in collaboration with the State Meteorological Agency as part of the #INFOMA26 campaign, warns that current weather conditions create a highly vulnerable scenario for the ignition and rapid spread of flames in the region's forests.
In response to this risk, emergency services have called for collective responsibility. There is a strict ban on any activity that could generate sparks or fire in natural areas, such as unauthorized barbecues or agricultural burning.
Authorities emphasize that any sign of smoke or fire in the forest must be reported immediately via the 112 emergency number to ensure a rapid response from firefighting teams.
