Fire crews battle southern Spain wildfire

Firefighters fought to stabilise a wildfire that ravaged 3,500 hectares (8,600 acres) of woods and bushes in southern Spain.

The blaze started on Wednesday (June 9) afternoon on the slope of Pujerra mountain in the Sierra Bermeja, north of the Costa del Sol, and spurred the evacuation by emergency services of about 2,000 people from the town of Benahavis.

Three firefighters were injured on Wednesday evening and one was being treated for severe burns in a Malaga hospital.

INFOCA on Friday released a statement to say the fire had been stabilised.
