Firefighters battle wildfire in Spain’s Castellon province
A wildfire in eastern Spain's Castellon province has burned about 8,500 hectares and forced the evacuation of 16,000 people, according to Spanish broadcaster TVE.
The spread of the large fires converging in central Spain had slowed overnight, authorities said, but the blaze in the Castellon province raged out of control, as the weather agency warned of another potential heatwave this week.
The so-called sixth-generation fires are the most extreme and uncontrollable category of forest blazes. Many scientists blame such fires and heatwaves on human-driven climate change.
