Emergency services across Southern Europe are operating at maximum capacity as severe heat and environmental hazards continue to trigger crises in Spain, France, and Greece.
In Spain’s Zamora province, a large-scale emergency response was launched after a fire broke out at the Zaresa waste treatment plant in Roales del Pan. Emergency dispatchers received nearly 40 calls reporting a thick toxic smoke column, prompting authorities to issue ES-Alert notifications instructing nearby residents to remain indoors, while police closed a lane on the A-11 motorway, according to the Civil Guard in Zamora.
