Following a night where emergency teams managed to halt the flames' advance toward urban areas, local representatives emphasized the need to maintain pressure on the fire. The area surrounding the Cofio River, which flows into the San Juan Reservoir, has been identified as the most dangerous point due to its potential to spread the fire toward the Sierra de Guadarrama.
Authorities warned that despite overnight progress, the situation remains critical due to expected worsening weather conditions. Firefighters continue to work in the area to prevent the fire from regaining intensity during the hotter daylight hours.
Due to the proximity of the fire, evacuations have been ordered for the affected municipalities. Local officials have urged residents to strictly follow the instructions of emergency services, acknowledging the emotional toll this situation is taking on the community.
