Forest Fire in southern Spain injures 3

Three firefighters were injured after a forest fire broke out at the foot of the Pujerra mountain in southern Spain, forcing the evacuation of the town of Benahavis, which has a population of 7,000 people. The fire was reportedly fueled by hot air and strong winds, and the flames were put out by 100 military personnel and around 250 firefighters. “Unfortunately, we must report that three firefighters suffered burns of varying degrees, with one being taken to a Malaga hospital with 25% of his body burned,” Juanma Moreno, the head of the Andalusian self-government administration, said.
