In a video captured by @soymarkey on August 18, 2023, in Arafo, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain, the devastating wildfire that has been ravaging Tenerife showcases a moment of hopeful respite. The footage, captioned "The Arafo area is revived again (05:00 in the morning)," captures the thick smoke and confusion enveloping the area, with uncertainty about the fire's reach into the municipality of Güímar. After igniting on Wednesday in the vicinity of the Mount Teide volcano, Spain's highest peak, the inferno has consumed almost 4,000 hectares (9,900 acres) of pristine terrain, casting a shroud of ash and smoke over the island. However, recent favorable weather conditions and the unwavering efforts of firefighters have led to a slowdown in the blaze's advance, granting authorities the opportunity to ease certain restrictions for local residents.
