Spain's first major wildfire of the year raged in the eastern Valencia region on Friday, destroying more than 7,413 acres of forest and forcing 1,500 residents to abandon their homes, authorities said.
In Spain, 493 fires destroyed a record 758,613 acres of land last year, according to the Commission’s European Forest Fire Information System. “We didn’t sleep well because of anxiety, wondering whether our home had burned down and thinking about the animals we have,” said Maria Antonia Montalaz, who was evacuated from nearby Montanejos.
