Massive Evacuations as Wildfire Rages on Spain's Tenerife
TL;DR Summary
A wildfire on the Spanish island of Tenerife has forced over 26,000 residents to evacuate as it continues to grow, affecting 11 cities and towns and burning 10,000 acres. The fire, which started on Tuesday, is the most complicated in the Canary Islands in 40 years due to strong winds and high temperatures. No fatalities have been reported, but the fire comes amid a heat wave and dry weather in the region. This follows another wildfire in Spain's La Palma last month, which led to 4,000 evacuations.
