From Daily Mail (caution: tabloid):
Spain’s capital is being deluged in smoke and ash by huge wildfires to the west, which has led the country to declare a national emergency and the Prime Minister to warn of ‘complex hours ahead’.
As two blazes in Spain risk merging amid tricky firefighting conditions today, France has called in the army and more than 270,000 people have been forced to flee their homes across the two countries. Huge forest blazes have become out of control amid strong gusting winds on Saturday, as Brits were among the tourists facing being evacuated from hotels in the dead of night.
