Excavator Spark Sparks Largest Fire in Spain
A construction worker in Spain has been arrested for causing the country's largest wildfires in history, having ignited a spark with his excavator that burned approximately 500 square kilometers of forests. The fires led to the evacuation of 90,000 people and caused widespread destruction. The fires were close to burning out of control amid a severe heatwave, with warnings of continued high temperatures and winds that increase the likelihood of additional fires. The accused faces a prison sentence of five to ten years, despite denying the charges and insisting that he went to the site solely to recover his excavator.
