Good morning, Ciara, good morning as well to my French colleague, we're old colleagues.
Yeah, the fires, similarly to France, there is no sense that the fires are currently coming under control.
I mean, both the firefighters, the political authorities and the weather authorities are saying it is changing almost on an hourly basis.
I mean, at the moment, the fires are
Miravilla and are said to be not contained, but at the moment not advancing.
But there is no sense at all, I think, that there is now a reduction in danger or a sense that the fires are being controlled other than perimeters, so the whole extent of the fire.
If you think of a fire as a zone, they're managing in one way to control some of the spread, but it is really changing on an hour by hour basis.
And one of the things that the experts are saying is that in certain regions, the fires are now so heavy that they are creating their own winds.
The heat of the fires are creating their own whirlwinds.
So causing it to further spread because it sends embers and sparks.
further into forest areas, into areas that have been dried by months of hot, hot weather.
And the level or the amount of control is just beyond, at the moment, the control of those that are there.
And similar to what is happening in France, the Spanish authorities have also called in European assistance under the European Union Civil Protection Mechanism.
And we know that there are planes coming in from Portugal, Italy, Greece and Turkey at the moment
firefighting teams and planes.
So the situation and the teams on the ground are considered to be overwhelmed.
But, you know, fingers keep being crossed every day as we wait to see what's going to happen next.
That's right.
We're looking at another heat wave later in the week.
