Around 250 firefighters and emergency services personnel are fighting a wildfire on the Span’s island of Tenerife, also a major tourist destination, which officials say is spreading ‘out of control.’ The forest fires triggered an evacuation of five villages on the island and forced the closure of roads. As the fire is spreading across dry woodland, covering both flanks of steep ravines near the Mount Teide volcano, access to the area has been obstructed. Tenerife Island is part of the Canary Islands archipelago.
