Seven hundred Spanish firefighters are battling the season’s first major forest fire, which has spread out of control 48 hours after it broke out and has forced the evacuation of 1,500 people from a community north of Valencia in eastern Spain.
Spain’s first big wildfire has come weeks earlier than last year.
The 40 km-wide Valencia region blaze has torched 4,000 hectares of land.
