## Resource

Southern Spain reels from a deadly wildfire that’s already claimed twelve lives, with most victims foreign tourists who ignored evacuation orders—seven died walking after abandoning their cars, four of them British. Firefighters are battling the blaze with aerial support as it rages near the Sierre de Los Filabres mountains, fueled by extreme heat that’s swept across Europe. Spain’s Justice Minister declared it a climate emergency, noting flames can advance over 100 meters per minute. Over 1,400 people have been evacuated across 11 zones. Meanwhile, France grapples with its own wildfires, with 32 arrests this summer linked to arson and President Macron blaming human activity for most blazes—over 25,000 hectares have burned this year, double last year’s total. As Spain’s 2023 wildfire season already matches last year’s devastation, the continent faces a sobering reality: climate change is turning extreme fires into a growing, deadly norm.
