| [AFRICANEWS] The first blaze began in Balares, in the parish of Cospindo, and was followed by four others in Brantuas, A Grana, Cores and Nemeno. Two of the five fires, those in Cospindo and Cores, were stabilised by Sunday evening, while the others remained active. Residents were evacuated from Balares and O Osmo on Saturday as flames approached homes and beaches. Officials suspect the newer fires were deliberately set, as they started separately from the initial blaze, which was linked to a downed power line. Hundreds of emergency personnel, supported with aircraft and helicopters, have been deployed. |
