The Emergency Directorate of Civil Protection has also ordered the evacuation of the small municipality of Monasterio, with barely twenty inhabitants, who are urged to immediately leave their homes following the established routes and the instructions of the emergency services, taking only essential documentation, documents, and objects. The evacuation is a consequence of the fire declared this Thursday in La Mierla (Guadalajara), which has already burned 5,400 hectares, evacuated 600 people, evacuated 12 municipalities, and is “still far” from being controlled, as confirmed by the Minister of Sustainable Development, Mercedes Gómez.
