At least twelve volunteer firefighters have
died in Spain in a forest fire in the central province of
Guadalajara and hundreds of people have been forced to leave the
area. This report from Marian Hens:
The firefighters, many in
their early twenties, had gone out in two groups to
battle the blaze but their efforts were hampered by
strong winds and summer temperatures of up to forty degrees
Celsius.
The local
authorities in the central Guadalajara province say
three people are still missing. The blaze, which is not
yet under control, has destroyed five- thousand
hectares of pine
woodland and forced hundreds of villagers to leave
their homes.
The authorities believe it could have been
started by a barbecue which had not been put
out properly and have announced that they will be
questioning suspects in the morning.
The Spanish deputy prime minister, Maria Teresa Fernandez de la
Vega, has gone to the region and met angry locals.
They're complaining about the lack of resources to fight this
kind of catastrophe.
Forest fires are common in Spain during the
summer months but this year the
problem has become more acutedue
to the heatwave
and the worst drought the country has experienced since the
forties.
