Tenerife wildfire: 14 mile long wildfire spreading through the Spanish island

The blaze broke out in a mountainous national park on the Spanish island on Wednesday and spread to 4,450 acres in 24 hours as firefighters struggled to contain the blaze amid difficult terrain conditions. The fire’s perimeter expanded to 14 miles of dry woodland covering both flanks of steep ravines near the Mount Teide volcano - Spain’s highest peak - hampering access to the area. ’The fire is out of control... the outlook is not positive,’ the region’s leader, Fernando Clavijo, told an evening news conference in Tenerife’s capital, Santa Cruz. ’Our goal for tonight is defensive, so that the fire does not continue its advance. We will carry out operations to protect residents’ property,’ he added. #dailymail #wildfire #tenerife Original Article: Original Video: Daily Mail Homepage: Daily Mail Facebook: Daily Mail IG: Daily Mail Snap: Daily Mail Twitter: Daily Mail Pinterest: Get the free Daily Mail mobile app:
