Recently, many countries near the Mediterranean have been scorched by high temperatures, and Spain, Portugal and Turkey are fighting forest fires.
Due to the continued high temperatures in summer, forest fires have occurred frequently in Spain in recent days. According to Reuters, Spanish firefighters were extinguishing a fire in Travasos, Zamora province, early on the 18th. The fire burned 200 hectares of land on the 17th and forced the evacuation of residents of a nearby town. The report said that the firefighting work had made progress.
On the Portuguese island of Madeira, a forest fire had been burning for five consecutive days as of the 18th. Although dozens of firefighters have come to reinforce and help put out the fire, efforts to control the fire have been hampered by high temperatures, strong winds and terrain factors.
According to the Associated Press, forest fires broke out in Yataan and Ula in Mugla Province, Turkey on the 18th. Aircraft and vehicles have been dispatched to the fire area, and nearly 300 personnel are fighting the fire. Affected by the hot and dry weather, forest fires have occurred in many places in Turkey in recent days.
