Spain

The most severe fire is centred west of Madrid, impacting the Ávila and Toledo regions. According to local reports, more than 77,000 hectares have been affected, making it one of the largest wildfires in Spain's history. Thousands of emergency personnel have been deployed and large-scale evacuations have taken place as authorities work to contain the blaze.

Crawford Spain is actively responding to claims arising from these events, supporting clients and policyholders as losses are assessed and recovery efforts begin.

France is facing significant wildfire activity in the Gironde region near Bordeaux, Cap-Ferret and the Arcachon Basin, as well as parts of the south-east of the country. The fires have resulted in major evacuations and large-scale emergency operations.
