Many areas of Western Europe have been suffocating under unusually high records in recent days, compounding fears about climate change.
In Spain, Zamora, near the border with Portugal, and Catalonia, in the east, are among the worst affected by forest fires.
There have been no reports of deaths or injuries.
“It was a hard night and intense work”, stated a tweet from the Junta de Castilla y León, where Zamora is located. He assured that almost 20,000 hectares of land had been burned in the so-called Sierra de la Culebra and that the fire was “still active”.
In Catalonia, firefighters trying to control a fire in Baldomar said they expected Saturday to be “complicated” by “very high temperatures and a strong southerly wind”.
Flames crackled and rang in the air outside the town of Caudiel, in Castellón, eastern Spain.
Firefighters, wearing masks, goggles and helmets, struggled to control the fires. They helped evacuate residents, some of whom brought their dogs and horses, at a time when smoke wafted through the town.
In Toledo, southwest of Madrid, the Puy du Fou theme park evacuated more than 3,000 people on Friday as fires neared its perimeter.
