Wildfire spreads on Spain’s Tenerife island, forces thousands to flee homes

Live Mint  

A wildfire on the Spanish island of Tenerife that has forced thousands of people to flee their homes was spreading and remained out of control late on Saturday, with hot, dry and windy weather hampering efforts to contain the blaze. At a news conference late on Saturday, the head of Tenerife's local government Rosa Davila described the fire as "devastating" and said it had forced new evacuations. Fernando Clavijo, Canary Islands regional leader, said that Sunday was expected to be "very complicated" for firefighters because of adverse weather conditions. Scorching heat and dry weather this summer have contributed to unusually severe wildfires in Europe, including in Spain's La Palma island in July, and Canada.
