The threat from the Madrid fires has decreased; they are still not under control, but worsening weather conditions are expected.

Firefighting efforts in the Madrid region have successfully contained the advance of active fire fronts, particularly in the western sierra, preventing flames from reaching the municipality of Valdemaqueda. Intensive work throughout the night of July 28 has effectively reduced the immediate threat posed by the blazes. While the fires remain uncontrolled, authorities have reported progress in stabilizing the situation.

Despite these improvements, the region remains on alert due to forecasted weather conditions that may lead to an intensification of the fires. The smoke that previously blanketed the city and province of Ávila has dissipated, offering some relief to the surrounding areas. Meanwhile, experts have noted that the decline of traditional pastoral practices, which serve as a natural preventative measure against wildfires, continues to complicate long-term fire management efforts in Spain.
