At least 12 people have died in a devastating forest fire in southern Spain

A major forest fire broke out near Los Gallardos in southern Spain's Almería region, resulting in at least 12 deaths and six injuries. The fire started during a prolonged heatwave affecting much of southern Europe and reportedly began after a fallen power line ignited dry vegetation. Authorities have not yet officially confirmed the cause of the fire. Over 1,000 residents were evacuated, and approximately 150 firefighters worked to contain the blaze. The incident occurred amid record-breaking temperatures in Spain, which experienced its highest average daily temperatures since measurements began in 1950. Climate change has been linked to increasing frequency and intensity of wildfires across Europe, with 2025 being the worst wildfire season in the European Union since 2006. Research indicates that climate change directly contributes to more severe wildfire seasons in the Mediterranean region.

At least 12 people have died in a fire in Spain, some victims found in a car (VIDEO)

V požaru v občini Los Gallardos na jugu Španije je umrlo najmanj 12 ljudi, medtem ko so še najmanj šest oseb poškodovali. Reševalne službe so našli nekatero žrtvo v avtomobilu, ki je bil zajeten plameni. Požar, ki je izbruhnil četrtek popoldan, je bil najbolj uničujoč v zgodovini Andaluzije. Regionalni minister za zdravje in izredne razmere Antonio Sanz je opisal dogodek kot 'tragedijo brez primere' in izrazil globoko žalost. Španski premier Pedro Sánchez je tudi izrazil obup ob posledicah požara. Požari v naravi so postali pogosta pojava v Španiji, kar je povzročilo uničenje več kot 50.000 hektarjev površin do zdaj v tem letu.

Fires in southern Spain claim 12 lives, firefighters assisted by army

Na jugu Španije, v občini Los Gallardos, so se požari razvili v tragedijo, kjer je umrlo 12 ljudi, medtem ko so še najmanj šest oseb ranjenih. Požar se je hitro razširil zaradi suhe vegetacije, kar je povzročilo zapornje ceste in evakuacijo približno tisač prebivalcev. Regionalni minister za zdravje in izredne razmere Antonio Sanz je opisal situacijo kot 'tragedijo brez primere'. Španski premier Pedro Sanchez je izrazil globoko žalost. Požar je izbruhnil po zgodnjem vročinskem valovu, ki je povzročil sušo in povečano ranljivost območij za gozdne požare. Zgodnji vročinski valovi so tudi povzročili rekordne gozdne požare v Španiji lani.

Spain's forest fires kill 12 people

V Španiji so zaradi gozdnega požara pri kraju Los Gallardos umrlo najmanj 12 ljudi, šest pa je poškodovalo. Požar je povzročil podrt električnega voda, kar je omogočilo hitro širjenje ognja. Regionalna vlada Andaluzije je objavila podatke, medtem ko so resnični številki še vedno nepotrjeni. Predsednik regionalne vlade je opisal dogodek kot tragedijo. Približno 150 gasilcev je delovalo za omejitev požara, medtem ko so zaprli več cest in evakuirali okoli tisoč prebivalcev. Španski premier Pedro Sánchez je obljubil večji obseg odzivnih sil za poletno sezono. Požari so se razširili tudi v Franciji in na Portugalskem. Po podatkih Evropskega informacijskega sistema za gozdne požare (EFFIS) je lani v Španiji pogorelo rekordnih 393.000 hektarjev. Evropa se segreva najhitreje, kar vodi do pogostejših vročinskih valov in gozdnih požarov.

In a small Spanish village, a fire killed 12 people

A major wildfire in a Spanish village resulted in 12 fatalities, with around 150 firefighters battling the blaze. Among the injured was a woman with burns, and several people were taken to the hospital due to inhaling smoke. Witnesses reported that the fire started from a fallen high-voltage line, which quickly spread through the forest. The regional authorities have not yet confirmed the cause, according to BBC. The incident occurred on the southern Iberian Peninsula, where heatwave conditions have pushed temperatures to 40°C, with extensive wildfires also reported in Portugal and France. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez announced in May that Spain will deploy its largest-ever response to summer wildfires this year.
