In reply to M. Edwards:
News item I found on the Internet:
About 14.000 inhabitants of La Nucía, in the Spanish province of Alicante, were evacuated on Saturday after a large forest fire started, says a spokesman of the government of the region Valencia, Serafin Castellano.
The fire was probably caused by an electricity pylon, which was blown over by the gale-force winds. The fire started around 9.30 a.m. It also reached the communities of Benidorm, Finestrat and Polop de la Marina. Nearly 500 firemen tried to control the flames Saturday night, says a spokesman of the emergency services. They were hindered by the very strong winds.
At the time of writing I can see water aeroplanes, from the window of my house, extinguishing the remains of the fire. The slackening of the gale-force winds has made it possible for the planes to fly. Full details of the damage at the time of writing is still unknown to me.
