The fire broke out at the El Goloso military base, near the Spanish capital, where the Guadarrama infantry brigade is based. According to several Spanish websites, including Infovaticana and Religión en Libertad, the fire spread out of control, burning all the vegetation.
When the fire was extinguished, firefighters were amazed to find in the middle of the ruins a statue of Our Lady of Lourdes, completely undamaged.
Even more shocking was the fact that the grass around the statue was untouched by the flames, as were the flowers in a vase with a reverent image of the Virgin Mary, as if the fire had been respectful of the space around the statue.

The fire broke out on July 30, during a heat wave that gripped Spain. Firefighters could not explain why the statue was unharmed, or why the flowers did not even get burned or withered by the heat.
The story quickly spread on social media, some people suspected it was a hoax, but further investigation cleared all doubts. In the photo, one can easily see that the ground was completely burned, except for the area around the statue.

In fact, most of the soldiers did not know that there was a statue of Our Lady in their garden. But some who had a special devotion to Our Lady wanted to have the presence of Our Lady of Lourdes. And the statue was repeatedly venerated in official ceremonies at the base.
The government investigation seems to be enough to clarify the natural aspects of this event. There are facts that human understanding cannot understand, but are explained by faith. Science and faith, working together to give an explanation for something.
Until now, this story shows the special protection of Our Lady for this simple and humble statue. And everyone can learn a lesson from it. Unforeseen events may occur that burn down a world full of dangers and evil.
In the near future, amid disasters that we cannot even imagine, Our Lady will pass through this tribulation, fearless and unharmed, and with her the devotion of the faithful. And those who believe, even if they are a minority and are rejected by the atheist majority, will be recognized and preserved as children of the Kingdom of Heaven.
