After a summer of cyclones, are we ready for a summer of wildfires?

23 Aug 2023

A civil guard talks with residents of La Orotava as a wildfire rages out of control through forested slopes on the Canary island of Tenerife, on August 19, 2023. More than 26,000 people may have been forced to flee a vast wildfire raging out of control in the Spanish holiday island of Tenerife, the emergency services said today. The huge blaze, which broke out late Tuesday in a mountainous northeastern area of the island, is the "most complex fire" to hit Spain's Atlantic Canary Islands in more than 40 years, the authorities say.
