La Comunidad de Madrid solicita la declaración de la situación operativa 3 de interés nacional por la gravedad y simultaneidad de incendios forestales en 3 comunidades autónomas y la posibilidad, como sucedió ayer en la provincia de Toledo, de que un gran incendio forestal proveniente de la provincia de Ávila agrave la situación de el de San Martín de Valdeiglesias.

En Madrid tenemos miles de evacuados e incendios fuera de capacidad de extinción.

Nuestros efectivos junto con la UME están jugándose la vida para salvar vidas y bienes.

Mañana se esperan condiciones meteorológicas muy adversas y es necesario reforzar el apoyo nacional e incluso internacional de estos incendios.

So long, America🫡🇺🇸

49 days ago we landed in the USA to follow our country at the World Cup. We had no idea it would turn into the trip of a lifetime.

Thank you to everyone who followed along, and to all the people we met who made this journey even more special. We honestly don’t have the words to express how grateful we are for everything you did for us.

This trip exceeded every expectation we had. We came here with an open mind, wanting to experience as much of the country as possible. I still remember telling my friends on the flight to Atlanta that I hoped we’d get to meet a few locals on this trip. Now we’re flying home with friends all across the USA.

Before we came, we heard so many stereotypes and warnings about America. People told us about safety concerns, that they might check our social media at the border, and all kinds of other things. None of it matched our experience. This was probably the most welcoming country we’ve ever visited.

So if you have the chance to travel, do it. The world isn’t nearly as bad as the media often makes it seem. 99% of people are awesome!

I heard this quote somewhere during the World Cup, and I think it sums up our experience perfectly:

“If you want to hate the world, watch the news. If you want to love it, travel it.”

Thank you, America ❤️🇺🇸
