More than 1,500 people are evacuated in Spain’s eastern Castellon province as a major forest fire rages, marking an early start to the nation’s fire season amid bone-dry conditions
Fire engulfs a vast forest area in Spain's eastern province of Castellon and authorities warn that risk of more fires is “extreme" advising residents to seek shelter at facilities operated by the Red Cross and other charities.
Spanish officials said on Friday that the fire had engulfed around 3,000 hectares of land since it broke out yesterday, forcing residents from their homes and into shelters operated by the Red Cross and other charities. Emergency services in the region said eight towns had been evacuated, including a home for older people in Montan.
The state weather agency, AEMET, tweeted that “unfavorable weather conditions, especially considering the early date of the year, have favored the rapid spread." Temperatures were above 25 Celsius when the fire broke out, and relative humidity sank below 30% following an unusually dry winter in the area.The risk of more fires in Castellon was classified as “extreme" on Friday.
