  "account": "It's as if it had snowed in the middle of August. But it's not snow, it's ash. The 3,750 hectares burned within the Sierra de Espadán natural park have been covered with a white blanket that reveals the violence of the fire: the clearer the ground, the higher the temperature reached by the flames, up to 700 degrees. A pine tree about 30 years old has ended up collapsing on the slope. Its trunk has opened in two and a dense column of smoke continues to come out of the wound. Emergency services are monitoring it because any gust of wind can revive the fire. Around it, the trees that still remain standing keep the black of soot on their trunks and consumed tops. Those that did not resist lie crossed over the paths. People have been able to save their houses. Many animals, on the other hand, have lost theirs.",
  "summary": "El parque natural de la Sierra de Espadán ha sufrido un incendio devastador que ha dejado una zona de 3.750 hectáreas completamente cubierta por ceniza, una evidencia de la intensidad y calor de las llamas, que alcanzaron hasta los 700 grados. Un pino de casi treinta años de edad fue arrasado por el fuego, cuyo tronco ahora está abierto y sigue emitiendo humo, lo que pone en alerta a los servicios de emergencia debido al riesgo de que el fuego vuelva a encenderse con cualquier golpe de viento. A pesar de la pérdida de numerosos árboles, las personas han podido salvar sus casas, pero muchos animales han perdido su hábitat.",
