Three active forest fires in the Madrid region have prompted the evacuation of approximately 10,000 residents from the towns of Villa del Prado and San Martín de Valdeiglesias. Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska has traveled to the advanced command post in Cenicientos to monitor the situation and oversee the response efforts.
Due to the severity of the fires, which have exceeded local extinction capabilities, the Community of Madrid has formally requested that the state declare Operational Situation 3 of the regional forest fire protection plan, known as Infoma. This escalation reflects the challenge posed by the three simultaneous blazes currently affecting the region and neighboring areas.
