British Couple Rescued from Almería Wildfire | London News

A British couple on holiday in Spain’s Almería province were horrifically burned and found barely alive in a ravine after being caught in a deadly wildfire. Rescuers airlifted them to hospital, where they remain in critical care — a harrowing rescue that took two hours and was fueled by the officers’ instinct to act. The blaze, which has claimed over twelve lives and scorched thousands of acres, has finally been contained after days of brutal fighting against high winds and extreme heat. Evacuations displaced 1,400 people, and officials blame climate change for turning the region into a tinderbox. Forensic teams are now working to identify the victims in what’s becoming one of Spain’s deadliest wildfires on record.
