A significant forest fire erupted on Monday in Brañuelas, León, affecting approximately 450 hectares.

The blaze, suspected to be intentional, has reached a level 2 danger status due to its proximity to populated areas.

Firefighters, aided by favorable nighttime humidity, are working tirelessly to control the flames, focusing on challenging terrains.

The towns of Tremor de Abajo and Almagarinos remain confined, though officials assure there is no immediate danger to residents.

Over 140 personnel, including the Military Emergency Unit, are deployed, utilizing aerial and ground resources.

Despite the complex topography and potential wind shifts, efforts continue to stabilize the fire's perimeter, with hopes of containment as weather conditions improve.
