Members of the Emergency Military Unit (UME) work to extinguish a wildfire next to a village on August 19, 2025 in Pepín, in Ourense province, Spain. The autonomous community of Galicia has been experiencing a prolonged heatwave for 16 days this summer, and daily temperatures have reached 45 °C. The heat and dried-out land have fueled wildfires across the region that have destroyed 115,000 hectares so far, closing Spain's world-famous pilgrims' route, the Camino de Santiago, that leads to the Galician town of Santiago de Compostela. The Spanish army has deployed nearly 2000 troops to help firefighters, and four people have died in Spain's worst wildfires on record. (Photo by Pablo Blazquez Dominguez/Getty Images)
