The head of Spain's emergency department said on the 23rd that most of the wildfires that have been raging in the country for about two weeks have been extinguished, but there are still more than ten dangerous fire spots. The Director of Civil Protection and Emergencies in Spain, Beatriz Casado, said on a national television program that the overall situation of fire containment is improving, but there are still 18 fire spots, with 17 of them classified as level two, meaning they pose a threat to human life and property safety. "We still need one final effort to put an end to this terrible disaster," Casado said. She is particularly concerned about the situation of a fire spot in the region of Castile and Len in Igea.
