Navaluenga (Spain) (AFP) – Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez lifts a state of emergency over wildfires threatening the country, after the prefect’s office said they had stopped expanding with “almost no flames left” in the Madrid region. The fire in Avila, the largest Spain has experienced since records began in 1961 with around 50,000 hectares burnt, is still raging. A new fire has also broken out in Fermoselle, western Spain, just a few kilometres from the Portuguese border, forcing the evacuation of more than 600 people.
