On Thursday, Spanish authorities said one person battling flames in the northwestern Castile and Leon region had died, taking the toll to three after earlier reporting fatalities there and near Madrid this week.

The fires have particularly scorched Spain this year, devouring over 157,000 hectares - more than triple the area burned during the same period in 2024.
