In southern Spain, in the Malaga region, around 2,000 people were evacuated due to a violent fire on Thursday, June 9. It occurred when a wave of strong heat began in the country.

In Spain, a huge blaze formed a few kilometers from the city of Malaga on Thursday June 9. The mountain is burning, and the flames are advancing at 30 meters per minute. The Costa del Sol is devoured by a gigantic fire, like last September. So, it is fear in the stomach that the inhabitants follow this fight. Three firefighters were injured.

The fire started at the end of the afternoon of Wednesday June 8, favored by the very hot weather. Temperature peaks above 40°C are waiting. During the night, the fire grew and several villages were evacuated. In total, more than 2,000 people quickly left their homes. Among those evacuated there were tourists and Andalusians. During the day of June 9, the wind died down, but the thick smoke made it difficult to fly over the mountain.
