In the same way, Castilla y León, the territory in which the flames have spread with greater voracity and have devastated more surface - some 98.000 hectares already -, has also received support from other communities and from Portugal up to 21 times. "In an emergency, solidarity between autonomous communities is a priority #NoHayFronteras", they emphasize from the Board, which this year has had to deal with large forest fires such as the one in the Sierra de la Culebra, which burned in June in less than four days 25,000 hectares in the province of Zamora, or Losacio, right next door, which reduced another 35,000 hectares to ashes. Only those two fires have burned more than 5 percent of the entire provincial area.
The province of Zamora is the most affected this summer. This Sunday, around 17.30:XNUMX p.m., a new forest fire broke out in Porto, in the Sanabria region, which has mobilized numerous air and ground media.
