Two housing developments in Galápagos (Guadalajara) are under lockdown due to smoke from a forest fire

A forest fire in Galápagos, Guadalajara, reached level 1 status on August 17 due to smoke affecting nearby residential areas. As a precautionary measure, authorities ordered the confinement of residents in the Parque de Las Castillas and Residencial Montelar urbanizations to ensure public safety against the smoke inhalation risk.

Following the intervention of the Castilla-La Mancha Forest Fire Prevention and Extinction Service (Infocam), the confinement order was subsequently lifted. The situation was resolved without further reported incidents, allowing residents to resume normal activities as the threat from the fire's smoke subsided.
