A Tragic Escape from Spain's Wildfire | Global News

A wildfire in Spain’s Almeria province tore through a village in seconds, claiming at least 13 lives—including Malcolm Timbrell’s wife, Annette Kilgore, and 12 friends.

He and Annette, who’d built a life together in Spain after past losses, now face an unimaginable void—yet find strength in community and memories of shared adventures.
