Spain Wildfire Crisis Deepens | Baltimore News

A deadly wildfire in southern Spain near Almeria has claimed at least twelve lives, mostly foreign nationals who ignored evacuation orders and tried to flee by car. As firefighters battle the blaze through the night using controlled burns, Europe faces its third heatwave in six weeks — with temperatures soaring and wildfires spreading rapidly across the continent. Scientists warn Europe is warming at twice the global average, fueling these catastrophic fires.

France is also grappling with wildfires and arson arrests, as its president blames human activity — a grim reminder that these disasters are largely preventable.
