More than 1,500 people were evacuated as a major forest fire raged in Spain’s eastern Castellon province on Friday, marking an early start to the nation's fire season amid bone dry conditions.
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez promised full support to those who had fled their homes.
Ximo Puig, the president of the Valencia region that incorporates Castellon, told reporters the fire was “very early in the spring, very voracious from the beginning.” As of Friday afternoon, 18 water-dropping planes and helicopters and more than 500 firefighters and soldiers were tackling the fire. The Spanish military and the nation's ecological transition ministry deployed additional support to try to bring the blaze under control.
