  • 16/07/2022

In the midst of a heatwave that is showing no signs of abating, thousands of firefighters are battling wildfires in Portugal, Spain, and southwestern France.

A pilot from northern Portugal perished in the Foz Coa region, close to the Spanish border, when his waterbombing aircraft crashed.

More than 12,000 people have been evacuated from the Gironde region of France as fires rage through the area.

A wildfire that was raging in the Mijas hills in southern Spain, close to the Costa del Sol, forced nearly 2,300 residents to leave.

Visitors to Torremolinos' beach witnessed large smoke plumes rising in the hills where numerous planes were battling the flames.
