As firefighters in Portugal and Spain continued to battle multiple blazes on Tuesday, Spainish government spokesperson Isabel Rodriguez told reporters at a news conference that “it is a real environmental tragedy” and “a tragedy that is irreparable.”
More than 30 wildfires continued to ravage parts of Spain, with authorities paying special attention to four blazes in Galicia and Castile and Leon. In Galicia, more than 1,500 people have been evacuated from the path of four fires, which damaged several buildings.
In Zamora, speechless passengers of a stuck train in Spain watched as a wildfire tore through vegetation near the track on Monday. The train was travelling between Madrid and Ferrol in the Galicia region, but the Zamora wildfire forced it to a halt, according to passenger Francisco Seoane.
With fires burning thousands of hectares in Galicia, Castile and Leon, Catalonia, Extremadura and Andalusia, Spain mourned the death on Sunday evening of a firefighter in the northwestern province of Zamora. Almost the entire country faces an extreme fire risk.
