No truce in Catalonia after a week of forest fires

Source Summary

The Generalitat Firefighters have had to make a very great effort this week to respond to hundreds of fires, many of which, moreover, have burned simultaneously. The high temperatures and low humidity have favored the fire making its way easily in different parts of the country, and this has forced hundreds of people to be confined and also to review forest management in recent years . The forecast was that this Saturday there would be a respite in the form of a temperature drop, but it hasn't been enough to prevent new fires that have maintained the pressure of recent days on emergency services ahead of a new heatwave next week. One of them broke out in Mont-roig del Camp and forced the confinement of several housing developments, in addition to closing roads and train lines. The other originated between the Camarasa reservoir and the village of Fontllonga, in La Noguera, where a hundred firefighters were mobilized to extinguish it.
