Efforts are ongoing to stabilize these fires, particularly in the affected regions, and recent progress has shown promising control of certain reactivations.
Over the past week, 111,916 hectares have burned in 38 fires, according to estimates from the European Forest Fire Information System (EFFIS).
The Spanish Ministry of the Interior has recorded 16 major fires with a high level of risk currently active in Spain, according to data from the National Emergency Monitoring and Coordination Center.
The fire that started in the town of A Mezquita (Ourense) and spread to the province of Zamora on Thursday remains out of control.
