King Extends Generous Call for Assistance to Mazón over Valencian Fires
Headline: Fire Alerts and Preventive Measures Dominate in Canary Islands and Valencian Community
The Canary Islands are currently under maximum alert for forest fires, with extreme heat conditions and high risk of wildfires causing strict preventive restrictions[3][5]. The alert status applies to all main islands, including Gran Canaria, Tenerife, La Gomera, El Hierro, and La Palma. Notably, Tenerife is under a Level 2 alert, with prohibitions on bonfires, barbecues, fireworks, motor vehicle use in forest areas, forestry work, and sporting events in most forested zones[2]. Some recreational areas remain open with safety conditions.
In a related development, a fire in Teresa de Cofrentes began at 15:46 on the previous day, leading to the declaration of level 2 of the Special Plan for Forest Fire Risk (PEIF), the evacuation of two villages and scattered homes, and the mobilization of the UME[1]. Another fire has occurred in Bicorp, Valencia. Aerial means have been mobilized to extinguish the fire in Bicorp, and Spain has requested a module with two large-capacity water-bombing aircraft from the European Civil Protection Mechanism.
Meanwhile, in the Valencian Community, the level of pre-emergency for forest fires remains extreme (red). The situation led to the fire in Teresa de Cofrentes, which has resulted in the evacuation of nearby areas.
In unrelated news, Belarra has expressed her honour at being singled out for organizing a Palestinian event[4]. Similarly, Sánchez has emphasized that Ukraine must participate in any decision regarding its future[6]. Sánchez also advocated for a ceasefire.
However, as of August 24, 2025, there is no available information from the search results regarding any upcoming meeting between the President of the Canary Islands and Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez. The recent news mainly focuses on fire alerts and prevention measures rather than political meetings.
Sports events have been prohibited in most forested zones due to the high risk of wildfires in Tenerife, where the island is under Level 2 alert for forest fires [2]. Meanwhile, general news reports no upcoming meeting between the President of the Canary Islands and Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, focusing instead on fire alerts and prevention measures [6].
