Improved firefighting efforts have allowed over 40,000 people to return to their homes in the Spanish regions of Madrid and Ávila. Residents of 15 municipalities previously evacuated due to wildfires received permission to return as conditions stabilized. While progress has been made in these areas, the situation in Castellón remains challenging, with flames still uncontrolled after a difficult day for firefighters. Authorities describe the day as "complicated" as they continue battling the blaze. The return of evacuees signifies a positive turn in the wildfire situation, though vigilance remains crucial. Fire crews are focusing resources on containing the fire in Castellón and preventing further spread.
