Massive forest fire continues in Spain’s La Palma

The wildfire on the Spanish island of La Palma charred at least 3,600 hectares (8,896 acres) of land and forest over the weekend, provincial head Sergio Rodriguez said on Monday. The wildfire began Saturday and forced around 4,200 people to evacuate their homes. On Sunday night, around 2,000 were given permission to return. Rodriguez said that the weather conditions improved Sunday night but told Spanish broadcaster Antena3 that the wildfire remains active and out of control.
