Thousands told to stay home as Spain forest fire rages
Hundreds of Spanish firefighters battle a forest fire stoked by fierce winds that have burned more than 3,000 hectares, with authorities ordering 18,000 residents to stay at home. More than 450 firefighters backed by helicopters and planes have been deployed across a hilly 30-kilometer (19-mile) front in the northeastern province of Tarragona, according to the Catalonia region's fire service. "There was a lot of smoke, you could see the fire glowing very close to the village, and there was a lot of anxiety and fear," says a resident.
