Spain: Day-trippers confess to starting deadly forest fire
A group of day-trippers have confessed to starting the blaze that killed 11 firefighters in central Spain in the country’s worst firefighting loss in years, an Interior Ministry official said today.
The group of 10 told the Civil Guard that their barbecue in a nature reserve of pine woodland in the Guadalajara province east of Madrid ignited the fire, said Carmen Vallejo, spokeswoman for the Interior Ministry of the Castilla y La Mancha region.
