Massive Evacuation on Tenerife as Wildfire Resurfaces

Over 3,000 people have been evacuated from their homes on the Spanish island of Tenerife as a wildfire, sparked by high temperatures and strong winds, re-ignited in a forested area previously affected by a fire in August. The blaze, which started on Wednesday, has been declared a high-level emergency, and assistance from the army's Military Emergency Unit has been requested. The region is on alert for high temperatures, and scientists have linked the searing temperatures and dry conditions to climate change. The fire had been brought under control in August but was never completely extinguished, and the current dry weather makes it more difficult to fully extinguish the blaze.
