"Massive Wildfire Forces Evacuations in Spain's Canary Islands"

A wildfire on La Palma in Spain's Canary Islands has forced the evacuation of over 2,000 people and destroyed around a dozen homes. The fire, which is "out of control," has spread rapidly due to tinder-dry conditions caused by a heat wave. Officials are concerned about shifting winds at night, making the evacuation operation more dangerous. The fire comes nearly two years after a volcanic eruption devastated the island. Spain has been experiencing record high temperatures and a prolonged drought, raising concerns about a difficult wildfire season.
