There are currently two main fires in Spain, and figures varying between 20,000 and 48,000 hectares are reported to have been destroyed - the worst record for ten years. Summer temperatures nearing 40 degrees Celsius following the driest winter in 70 years have contributed to the problems.
A total of over 2,000 personnel and 41 aircraft are currently involved in the firefighting
