Today, almost a month after it was started, the wildfire in the Valle del Tiétar has officially been declared over.
It started at lunchtime on the 28th of July and was under control by the 3rd of August. On the 13th it was described as “técnicamente extinguido”, but there have been people deployed in the area since then, damping down and making sure that it didn’t flare up again.
Two people died and 4211 hectares were burned, including a large area of the Sierra de Gredos Regional Park.
I can’t help but wonder how the person who started it feels now.
