Tens of thousands of people were urged to evacuate on Thursday as forest fires continued to tear through Spain, France and Italy. Temperatures of up to 40 degrees Celsius were forecast in some areas. In 2026, European wildfires have already exceeded the past two-decade annual average.
Spain declares emergency and mobilizes military
Spain declared a national emergency in the Madrid region and the province of Avila late on Thursday. The measure aims to speed up deployment of resources and transfers crisis response to the military emergency unit specialized in disaster relief, after some 10,000 people were forced to evacuate.
Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez posted on X that "the government has deployed every available resource to stop the terrible fires currently affecting numerous areas: Avila, Leon, Toledo, Madrid and other parts of Spain." He visited Guadalajara where over 30 villages were evacuated, stating "Year after year we clearly see how climate change kills and destroys wealth in our communities. This isn't politics. It is science, it's about facts."
France requests EU assistance amid evacuations
President Emmanuel Macron said that France has invoked the EU's civil protection mechanism to ask for help to tackle forest fires. He posted that "We will soon have support from two Croatian Canadair aircraft, two Portuguese Air Tractors and two heavy-lift Black Hawk helicopters from the Czech Republic and Slovakia."
Authorities evacuated 7,000 people as a precaution on Thursday north of Cap Ferret near Arcachon Bay, bringing total evacuees there to 12,000. Fires had ravaged around 2,000 hectares by Wednesday. Climate change is making such extreme weather events more frequent and severe.
Italy battles blazes and suspects arson
Around 6,000 firefighters and officials have been deployed across Sicily after days of fires. Regional president Renato Schifani said about 50 fires were still burning despite water-bombing aircraft. In Calabria, more than 160 fires have been recorded.
Local officials in Calabria accused "malicious individuals" of arson, pointing to rags doused in flammable liquid tied to stray cats' tails to spread fires. The widespread evacuations and destruction reflect a worsening wildfire crisis across southern Europe this summer.
