Residents look at burnt fields and vegetation after a wildfire in the Valle de las Cinco Villas, in Asin near Zaragoza. A wildfire in northern Spain’s Aragon region has ravaged around 13,500 hectares (33,500 acres) of pine and brush and forced some 1,500 people to evacuate their homes.
Spain was on maximum alert for wildfires yesterday on the second day of a new heatwave that sparked a forest fire in the northern region of Aragon over the weekend.
“Extreme wildlife alert throughout Spain, maximum precaution,” the ministry of agriculture said in a Twitter message.
Spain’s national weather office put nearly all of the country on “red” alert for wildfires, the highest level in the five-stage scale, warning of an “extreme” risk of blazes.
Temperatures were expected to reach 40° Celsius (104° Fahrenheit) in the centre and southeast of Spain.
In the rest of Spain temperatures will soar to between 36-38°C.
