Man killed in Spain wildfire as European heatwave intensifies
- A man died from severe burns after a wildfire near Tres Cantos, north of Madrid, amid evacuations and firefighting efforts on Tuesday.
- The blaze rapidly spread, advancing six kilometres in just 40 minutes, causing authorities to evacuate hundreds and declare a national pre-emergency in Spain.
- Heat warnings were in effect across southern European countries such as Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, and the Balkans, as the mercury climbed above 40°C, leading to widespread safety measures.
- The head of the Spanish government highlighted that rescue teams, aided by close to 1,000 military personnel, are making every effort to combat wildfires nationwide.
- Experts link the extreme wildfires and heatwaves to accelerated regional warming, with Europe heating twice as fast as the global average since the 1980s.
