Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez is preparing to visit Casseris and Zamora provinces, as the authorities said that the crisis called for the largest wave of international aid in the history of firefighting in Spain, with aircraft and crews from distant countries such as Finland and Slovakia. The National Meteorological Authority of Spain expects that the 16 -day weather wave, which is likely to be the third tallest wave in more than 30 years, will break, but half of the country is still facing extremely dangerous conditions for the outbreak of fires.
