I am starting the camino in Pamplona on Wednesday, and I just saw news about the forest fires near Leon. I have searched for news about how this is affecting the camino, but I can't find anything. Any news would be appreciated. Thanks.

It is the season of forest fires risk in Spain. But as mentioned above, there are not any forest near León; it is mostly plain, agricultural land.
Nearest forests are after Rabanal del Camino.
In case of doubts, ask hospitaleros.
