Dozón, Spain - August 12, 2025 Video footage shows a Spanish Civil Guard vehicle responding to a severe wildfire on August 12, 2025, with thick smoke and flames in the background. The vehicle travels along a highway, passing other cars before reaching a road blocked by the fire. The wildfire is part of a major fire season in Galicia, causing road closures, evacuations, and the removal of vehicles trapped on the A-52 highway. The footage highlights the challenges faced by authorities confronting rapidly spreading flames. The Spanish Civil Guard said: “Due to the wildfire in the area, we have evacuated the roads between the provinces of Ourense and Pontevedra. In addition, we assisted in the removal of seven trucks that had become trapped on the A-52.” This wildfire occurs amid a broader pattern of extreme weather in Europe. Spain has experienced nearly 4,800 fires this season, with thousands evacuated and dangerous conditions fueled by climate change, including “fire whirls” in northern Spain.
