A wildfire ignited near La Bisbal d’Empordà in Spain’s Girona province on July 3 and burned approximately 1,280 hectares while remaining out of control. Strong tramontana winds spread the fire into the Gavarres massif, prompting confinement orders for residents in ten municipalities and the deployment of more than 200 firefighters plus military support. A man was arrested on suspicion of starting the blaze with an angle grinder; one reported detail concerning a holiday camp remains disputed between sources.
