Firefighters battle a wildfire raging in Spain’s Avila region.

Three wildfires were raging in Spain’s region of Castile and Leon early on July 29, the most severe one near Avila, about 60 miles west of Madrid. People in the town of Mombeltran were ordered to remain inside due to the smoke.

Hot and dry summers are common across the Mediterranean region, but more intense heatwaves have contributed to destructive wildfires in recent years amid fast-rising temperatures around the globe.
