Summary
Madrid's regional government warned residents around the city that wildfire smoke is degrading air quality and exposing them to harmful effects.
The notice urged people to stay indoors unless absolutely necessary and to shut doors, windows and home ventilation to keep smoke out.
Children, older people, pregnant women and residents with respiratory or cardiovascular conditions were told to take special precautions as the smoke spreads beyond the fires themselves.
