Forest blaze kills 14 firefighters
At least 14 firefighters died today while trying to control a forest blaze that destroyed about 5,000 hectares (12,000 acres) of woodland and forced hundreds of people to evacuate their villages in drought-stricken Spain, an Interior Ministry spokesman said.
The 14 went out in two groups to try to bring the fire under control in the central province of Guadalajara, the spokesman said. Police fear at least one more person may have died.
