Around 60 residents who were forced to leave their homes due to the wildfire in Niebla have been allowed to return, according to Canarias7. The move comes as authorities report a favorable shift in the fire's behavior, which has been burning across the region.
The blaze, which has now consumed more than 31,000 hectares, has been spreading across the provinces of Huelva and Seville, as detailed by El Mundo and La Razón. While the northern flank of the fire is showing signs of stabilization, officials remain concerned about its advance toward the east, according to El Mundo.
The wildfire has triggered multiple evacuation orders in both provinces, with La Vanguardia reporting that new evacuations were necessary even as the fire's spread continued. The return of the first group of evacuees marks a turning point, with ABC also confirming that initial residents are heading back to their properties as extinguishing efforts begin to show results.
Firefighting teams are continuing to work on containing the remaining active fronts, focusing on the eastern edge where the risk remains highest. The situation remains dynamic, and authorities are monitoring the fire closely as weather conditions could influence its next moves.
What to watch next: Whether the eastern flank can be brought under control, and if further evacuation orders will be lifted in the coming days.
