First Alert: WCK Relief Team Responding to Wildfires in Northwestern Spain

August 12, 2025

World Central Kitchen’s Relief Team is en route from Madrid to the Ourense province of Spain, where wildfires are forcing communities to evacuate. First responders have been working to contain the blazes. Our team is mobilizing food trucks to support communities in immediate need.

These latest fires come during a deadly heat wave affecting communities across the Mediterranean. In July, we responded to wildfires in Ávila‎, which devastated communities and forced families out of their homes.

This remains a quickly evolving situation. You can sign up to our newsletter to receive more information and follow us on Instagram, Twitter, Bluesky, and Facebook for real-time updates.
