A significant wildfire has been declared at Level 2 emergency status in the Segovian municipality of Cerezo de Arriba, posing serious threats to populated areas and requiring protective measures for residents and property. The Junta de Castilla y León elevated the fire to this heightened alert level early Sunday morning, citing the blaze's potential to endanger communities and non-forest assets. The regional government's environmental department confirmed the escalation occurred at 1:58 AM on September 28, following initial reporting through the Inforcyl platform at 12:15 AM the same day.
The fire originated in the Pico del Lobo area of Peñalba de la Sierra in the neighboring province of Guadalajara before crossing into Castilla y León territory. This cross-provincial movement has created simultaneous firefighting challenges, with the Guadalajara blaze already having forced evacuations in affected communities. The Segovia province had been on alert for potential fire spread from the Peñalba de la Sierra incident prior to the confirmed border crossing.
Approximately thirty firefighting resources are currently deployed to combat the flames, including both aerial and ground units. The operational response includes five ground crews, multiple fire engines, environmental agents, technical specialists, and various specialized teams. Additional support comes from ELIF and BRIF units, water-dropping aircraft, helicopters, and other fire brigade personnel working to contain the advancing flames.
The Level 2 designation reflects the fire's classification as posing significant danger to population centers, requiring civil protection measures and safeguarding of property. Regional authorities have also activated Operational Situation (SIT) Level 2 across Castilla y León, indicating potential need for extraordinary resources and coordinated emergency response. The simultaneous fire activity across provincial lines continues to challenge firefighting efforts in central Spain's affected regions.
