Forest fire in Málaga

For seven hours on Friday, firefighters battled a forest fire in Málaga which ended up destroying about one hundred hectares of scrub and farm land making it the largest fire in the province so far this year.

The blaze started on the Camino de Colmenar near a restaurant and, being the third fire in this area this summer,  it is thought to have been started intentionally.

Seven homes were evacuated as a precautionary measure. No-one suffered any personal injury during the incident and no damage to property was reported. The area is being monitored in case the fire reignites.
