Here is the thread about a fire near Triacastela:
https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/fire-at-triacastela.51281/
More and more as I have progressed along the Camino I’ve wished I could speak Spanish but I can pick out some place names in the reports at least. Thanks!The Spanish news site is reporting on the fires in Galicia. The main page is http://www.rtve.es/noticias/.
Then follow the links as they change daily. The places affected are being listed.
There have been a few threads about current fires that may impact on various caminos. I thought it might be helpful to start a thread to collect information. If anyone has ACCURATE up to date information, please post it here.
Stay safe out there friends.
The regrettable thing about forest and brush fires is they create their own energy and wind forces as the oxygen is consumed the wind forces increase. It is very difficult to out run one of these. Be aware that the fire may not kill you but the lack of oxygen will. There is a compelling movie being released this week Only The Brave about the Granite Mountain fire.
Isn’t that called Hero Syndrome or something along those lines, also seen in nurses, doctors.A firefighter has been arrested for having started the fires, or at least six of them. If the authorities have in fact gotten the right criminal, it seems that he set the fires on his way to work and then when he got to work was called out to fight the fires he set. There seems to be no limit to the ways in which minds and souls can get twisted.

Unless you can get accurate advice as to conditions on the trail via La Faba best advice stay put or follow the sealed road up via Laguna. You might have to consider taking a bus (probably via Lugo) if your time in Spain is restricted. But overall - stay safe. Buen camino.I am in Las Herrerias as I type. Staying here for the night. Just walked from Villa Franca del Bierzo. Smoke very dense. O Cebreiro tomorrow. Any idea what conditions are like there.
Hola Annie - this is the second lot of forest fires for western Spain and Portugal - they had them back in mid-June. I know that eucalypt (Australian Gum) tress burn fiercely but I though Galacia had over 200 days of rain so its hard to understand what is happening!!My goodness! What a year! Fires ate up 1/3 of California and looks like Spain and Portugal are getting hit. Hurricanes on the east coast and I near one is nearing the UK.
I'll sure be happy when things calm down!

For sure it's playing with the lives of other people.
It seems that's not as uncommon occurence as one might imagine.A firefighter has been arrested for having started the fires, or at least six of them.
