  "account": "A wildfire in Almería that forced residents from their homes in Las Tres Villas has been declared stabilised after 22 hours, with evacuees returning to their homes on Tuesday afternoon. The fire, which broke out on Monday evening, forced train services to halt and led to the evacuation of 17 residents. The Junta de Andalucía declared the situation stabilised at 2pm on Tuesday, although firefighters state full control is still not yet achieved. Authorities have since downgraded the response from a Level 1 emergency to a lower \"pre-emergency\" footing. The fire began in the Doña María area of Las Tres Villas, a municipality of around 547 people, and quickly spread towards the neighboring municipality of Nacimiento. Crews are currently working to consolidate the fire's perimeter and check for hot spots that could reignite. In Spain's wildfire classification, \"stabilised\" is a stage before \"controlled\" and \"extinguished,\" meaning that the fire's active fronts have been stopped from advancing. The burnt area is estimated to be more than 300 hectares.",
