spain_wildfiresGALICIAN emergency services are fighting a fire that has devoured 3,000 hectares.

Nine planes, seven helicopters, 53 emergency vehicles and 208 soldiers are tackling the blaze in the province of Ourense.

The fire started on Sunday at midday and an unknown number of residents have been evacuated.

The PP mayor of Cualedro, Luciano Rivero, said the fire is ‘contained’ thanks to the wind subsiding.
