Residents of El Tiemblo, Spain, banded together to protect a 500-year-old chestnut tree, known as 'El Abuelo' or 'The Grandfather', from recent forest fires. The tree, over 25 meters tall with a trunk circumference exceeding 15 meters, is considered a national treasure and the emblem of El Tiemblo. Despite the intense fire, which burned around 770,000 acres of land and forced thousands to evacuate, the villagers' efforts successfully saved the tree. The fire started near Burgohondo in Ávila province and was one of the most intense in Spain in recent years.
