A majority of the country was under an extreme fire risk and intense heat waves hindered mitigation efforts. First responders battled to contain multiple fires that displaced thousands of people.
In Cáceres, Spain, WCK’s Madrid-based team served ice cream alongside fresh meals for a shelter receiving displaced families. Days after evacuation orders were lifted and people began to return home, another fire in the north-western province of Zamora grew to become one of the largest in Spain’s history.
Our Relief Team moved quickly to bring much needed fuel to first responders working tirelessly. We served up refreshing gazpacho, coffee, fruit, and ice cold water across four multiple cities. We continue to monitor fires across the country and remain ready to assist should the need for meals arise.
