Spain to start first return of fire evacuees as wildfires advance has slowed

Those fires in Madrid and Abila have had a positive evolution. The firefighters have managed to contain a lot of the fronts. There are some active points but they say that the cooler weather, the change in the winds directions and the lower winds over the weekend have really helped make a breakthrough. Nevertheless the firefighters and authorities are cautious because of course temperatures are predicted to rise again this week and could be topping a close to 40 degrees in some parts of Spain. The fire in Abila is now the worst in history as says the Ecology Minister Sarah Agus and she's talked about 50,000 hectares ravaged. Much of that beauty spots in around that area of Abila where many tourists from Spain for instance seek out a cooler climate. Really we saw the King Felipe VI visit some of those evacuated and basically spoke to them, tried to offer some empathy along with the Queen Leticia. He said some of you have been away for four nights sleeping out not knowing whether their homes and animals have survived these flames and he said collectively we've lost an incalculable amount of natural heritage and that's certainly the case.
