Spain: Massive wildfires force evacuation of over 26,000 from Tenerife
TENERIFE, Canary Islands: Thousands more people were evacuated from their homes on the Spanish island of Tenerife on Saturday (Aug 19) as a wildfire raging in the north of the island remained out of control, but the flames have so far avoided major tourist areas. The blaze broke out on Wednesday in a mountainous national park around the Mount Teide volcano - Spain's highest peak - amid hot and dry weather.
The local government of the Canary Islands, where Tenerife is located, has declared a state of emergency as the situation continues to deteriorate.
As scorching temperatures and relentless gusts of wind complicate firefighting efforts, authorities have been compelled to order the evacuation of more than 4,000 additional residents today. This comes in addition to the 4,500 individuals who were already forced to abandon their homes on Friday. Tenerife, an island inhabited by approximately one million people and renowned for its tourist appeal, has encountered an unprecedented crisis as this disaster unfolds.
The fires, which are reportedly out of control, have caused widespread panic and disruption. Both local residents and tourists have been affected by the dire circumstances, heightening concerns about the long-term impacts on the island's infrastructure, environment, and economy. Authorities are working tirelessly to combat the blazes and provide necessary support to those affected.
The fire was at a scale that has never been seen before in the Canary Islands, Tenerife Council President Rosa Davila told reporters.
She said the priority was to "protect people's lives".

Climate engineering researcher Dane Wigington says the total incineration of Lahaina in Hawaii was caused by man-made weather modification called geoengineering. Wigington says this is really an attack using “weather warfare.” According to Wigington, they used climate engineering to create a “wind tunnel effect right over Lahaina” with wind speeds up to 100 miles per hour to superheat the fire. Wigington explains, “This creates a bellows effect, and that escalates temperatures exponentially over what they would have otherwise been. They have been melting steel around the world by exactly that manner for thousands of years by feeding air in. That’s the bellows effect. This is the same as an acetylene torch. If you burn just the acetylene, you have 1,500 degrees. When you add oxygen, now you get 6,000 degrees. People are not considering this. They don’t need Directed Energy Weapons (DEWs). . . . There is a 140-page U.S. military document that we found and posted at GeoEngineeringWatch.org. It is titled “Wildfires as a Military Weapon.”It describes surface preparation . . . prior to their commencement of the surface firestorm incineration. That’s exactly what we saw in that region of Hawaii. . . .We cannot prove the source of ignition in Lahaina, but what we can say is the template for this event to happen cannot be separated from climate engineering operations.”
Wigington says weird and deadly weather events are going to intensify. Wigington points out millions of acres are burning in Northern Canada, while California and the Western U.S. brace for a huge hurricane coming from the Pacific Ocean. It looks like somebody wanted Lahaina burned to the ground no matter how many people had to die. Wigington contends, “We have the disaster capitalists trying to profit off any cataclysm, but I would argue the stakes are much, much more grave. These people know that the planet’s life support system is failing. They should know because they are a party to bringing us to this dark place. There are much bigger powers in play. . . .Climate engineering is a covert weapon because they can bring populations to their knees without the population ever realizing they are under assault. They mire populations in difficulty, and that makes them easier to control. . . . Climate engineering is far to dignified a term. This is weather warfare. We at GeoEngineeringWatch.org are focused on the biggest hole in the bottom of the boat. Whatever people are worried about, political theater or whatever concern they have, none of it will matter if we continue on the current course. I mean, in the very near term, none of it will matter.”
Wigington says more and more people are waking up to the dire problems that weather engineering is causing. If there is a critical mass of awakening, many lives could be saved, and at least part of the planet’s life support system can be salvaged. Wigington says, “It’s far easier to kill a million people that to control them. The U.S. population especially is a rapidly increasing liability to those in power. Many U.S. citizens are armed, and they are not happy about what’s going on. Those in power don’t want to get to a point that these citizens take to the street with their proverbial pitchforks and torches looking for them. So, they are going to debilitate, control and reduce that population as fast as they can. Anyone who can’t see that at this point has their eyes wide shut. So, of course, they are using weather as a weapon. Why wouldn’t they?”
On a side note, a conversation with a fireman overseeing a blaze in a backyard that extended to a farm field (the fire was eventually successfully put out without damage or harm to persons or property), found the fireman puzzled. He expressed that based on the conditions (including the wind) that he is familar with, he was baffled that the fire was moving so fast. The manner in which the fire was traveling made no sense to him. Are there new unseen factors like chemicals on a field or aerosol in the air? Speculating.
Whole of Washington State is under inferno alert as wildfires continue to burn
Terrifying wildfires which have so-far killed one person are continuing to tear across Washington state with more than 20,000 acres burned this weekend.
The entire North Western state remains under an alert, while the largest parkland area - Mount Spokane State Park - has been closed off to the public as firefighters battle to contain the inferno.
In Spokane County, east Washington, the largest wildfire has razed 10,892 acres of land, destroying nearly 200 buildings and killing at least one person in its wake as thousands evacuated the danger zone.
The blaze - known as Gray Fire - started around midday Friday on the west side of Medical Lake around 15 miles west of Spokane. Washington State Department of Natural Resources warned the fire is still spreading.
In an update Sunday, the department warned the blaze was still '0%' contained despite the efforts of firefighters, and it was engulfing more land towards the southwest.

LAND GRAB: Hawaii government to confiscate lands burned by deadly Maui wildfires
Hawaii Governor Josh Green warned developers from the United States and the rest of the world not to buy up the lands that were recently devastated by the catastrophic wildfires in the historic town of Lahaina. This is because the state government is considering acquiring them for the locals so it’s not “stolen by people on the mainland.”
They plan to lock down Lahaina for several months. “They are very worried that the community is going to freak out when they find out how not a single fire truck responded to the fires,” the source further claimed. “The emergency sirens were not activated (hurricane sirens) and loss of life could have been kept down by better emergency management which utterly failed.”
Tenerife wildfire started deliberately, UK tourists warned, with 12,000 people evacuated

Spain heads the list of EU countries affected by wildfires so far this year, with 185,00 acres burned, according to the European Forest Fire Information System - with Spaniards warned to brace themselves for further searing temperatures.
A wildfire raging on the popular UK tourist destination of Tenerife was started on purpose, police have confirmed, with 12,000 people evacuated since the blaze erupted on Tuesday.
Speaking today, Canary Islands regional President Fernando Clavijo announced police have opened three lines of investigation - although he did not say whether there had been any arrests.
Man killed in Greece wildfires as new blazes rage
A man was found dead in a wildfire raging north of the Greek capital Athens Monday, firefighters said, as they battled fresh blazes across the country.
“An old shepherd ran to his sheepfold to save the animals and was retrieved dead,” a spokesman from the fire brigade told AFP in Boeotia, about 100 kilometres (62 miles) north of Athens.
People on a beach and in two communities near the fire were told to evacuate. Around 60 firefighters assisted by four water-bombing planes were battling the flames, another official from the fire service told AFP.
Another wildfire broke out on the island of Evia, where 42 firefighters had been deployed, backed up by four planes, and communities were ordered to evacuate.
Two more were raging in northeastern Greece in the regions of Rodopi and Kavala, while another one broke out in Aspropyrgos, a town west of Athens.
The European Union announced it was deploying two Cyprus-based fire-fighting aircraft and a Romanian fire-fighting team via the bloc’s civil protection mechanism.
“Greece has already experienced by far its worst July since 2008 in terms of forest fires,” Crisis Management Commissioner Janez Lenarcic said.
“The burned area is larger and the fires are more intense and violent, destroying more surface area than before.”
Civil protection authorities warned of an “extreme” fire risk in the region around Athens and other parts of southern Greece.
“We are facing extreme phenomena and we all have to adapt to this difficult situation,” said fire service spokesman Yannis Artopios in televised statements, calling people to follow authorities’ instructions.
Fires also continued to burn out of control for a third day in northeastern Greece near the port city of Alexandroupolis.
Seven firefighters and one volunteer had to be taken to hospital with injuries, the official said.
Some 13 communities have been evacuated over the weekend and civil protection authorities urged residents to remain indoors due to the smoke.
The very hot and dry conditions which increase the fire risk will persist until Friday, according to meteorologists.
Amidst a heatwave, a fire that started on July 18 and was fanned by strong winds ravaged almost 17,770 hectares (more than 43,000 acres) in 10 days in the south of Rhodes, a popular tourist island in the southeastern Aegean Sea.
Around 20,000 people, mostly tourists, had to be evacuated.
Canary Islands regional President Fernando Clavijo said Sunday that police have confirmed that a wildfire raging on the Spanish tourist island of Tenerife was started deliberately.
Clavijo said police had opened three lines of investigation but did not say if there had been any arrests.
Improved weather conditions helped firefighters make advances overnight in their battle to tame the blaze that has raged out of control for the past five days, authorities said Sunday.
"The night was very difficult but thanks to the work of the firefighters, the results have been very positive," Tenerife Governor Rosa Davila said at a news conference.
No injuries have yet been reported and Davila said that thanks to the firefighters, no houses have been burned so far.
The fire, described as the worst in Tenerife in decades, is threatening 11 town areas flanking a steep and craggy mountain area. Access for firefighters is extremely difficult.
Davila said more than 12,000 people have been evacuated from their homes since the fire started Tuesday, revising an earlier statement that estimated 26,000 evacuees.
Although the blaze in the northeast of the island is not near the main tourist areas in the southwest, the regional government ordered the evacuation of a state-run hotel in the Teide volcano national park, in central Tenerife, some 50 kilometres southwest of the fire zone. It was not immediately clear how many people were staying at the hotel.

The islands' emergency services said Sunday that 11,600 hectares of pine forest and scrubland had been burned.
Emergency services said air quality in 19 town areas was not good and urged people to stay indoors when possible and wear masks outdoors.
More than 400 firefighters and soldiers have been deployed, as well as 23 water-carrying helicopters and planes.
Droughts and heat waves
The Canary Islands have been in drought for most of the past few years, just like most of mainland Spain. The islands have recorded below-average rainfall in recent years because of changing weather patterns impacted by climate change.
Spain's mainland is bracing for another heat wave starting Sunday that will last until Thursday. The country's state weather service said temperatures would gradually rise to 40 C in parts of the mainland Wednesday and Thursday.
On Tenerife, the agency predicted maximum temperatures averaging 30 C for the coming week.

According to the European Forest Fire Information System, Spain heads the list of EU countries affected by wildfires so far this year, with 75,000 hectares burned, ahead of Italy and Greece.
More than 2,000 people were forced to leave after a wildfire on nearby La Palma island last month that affected some 4,500 hectares.
Spain accounted for almost 40 per cent of the nearly 800,00 hectares (2 million acres) burned in the European Union in 2022, the EU agency said.
The seven Canary Islands are located off the northwest coast of Africa and southwest of mainland Spain. At their nearest point, they are 100 kilometres from Morocco.

Massive fires in the Canary Islands.. WHAT IS GOING ON AROUND THE WORLD??!!
The behavior of the fires may be related to residue from chemtrails. Is "something" in the skies (air) burning-up and causing these insane type of fires.
