Firefighters alongside personnel from Spain's Military Emergency Unit (UME) battled two active fronts of a fast-moving wildfire near Tírig in eastern Spain's Castellón province after flames burned over 244 hectares and advanced toward the nearby municipality of Catí. Regional authorities raised the emergency response to level two and issued an ES-Alert ordering approximately 700 residents in Catí to remain indoors, close windows, and shut off ventilation systems as thick smoke enveloped the area. Believed to have been sparked by dry lightning during recent thunderstorms, the blaze has defied early containment efforts across a 10.5-kilometer perimeter, forcing road closures between Tírig and Catí while 200 ground responders and 17 firefighting aircraft work through the night to halt the fire's advance. #spain #wildfire #castellon #tirig #cati #breakingnews #worldnews #topnews #wildfireseason #emergencynews #ctvnews #europe In this Times Now World News report, we break down the this t
