Source Summary

The Generalitat Firefighters have not yet been able to declare the serious fire affecting La Bisbal de l'Empordà since Friday under control, and there are already three new fires burning simultaneously in the midst of a heatwave. The new fires broke out this afternoon in Sentmenat, in Vallès Occidental; in Artesa de Segre, in La Noguera; and in the Anoia region, between the towns of Carme and La Pobla de Claramunt, with at least a hundred firefighters working on each. Authorities have confined around 33,000 people in the south of Igualada and in various towns in the Anoia region, as well as some urbanizations and scattered settlements between Sentmenat and Castellar del Vallès.
