Anatomy of the tragic fire in Almeria: from the rupture of the power line to the car rat trap that left 12 dead

An incendiary disaster struck Almería on July 10, claiming 12 lives and destroying 3,150 hectares of land. The fire, which remains partially uncontrolled, has raised concerns over environmental damage and human loss. It is the second major wildfire of the summer, following a similar event in Les Gavarres. Authorities suspect a power line failure near a restaurant as the likely cause, though this is under investigation. The fire began as a roadside blaze but quickly escalated due to strong winds and dry vegetation. Regional leaders described the incident as an 'unusual' and 'major tragedy,' highlighting the challenging terrain and lack of forest cover in the area as contributing factors.
