A wildfire that broke out in a national park on the Spanish island of Tenerife has spread to 300 hectares, prompting authorities to order the evacuation of five villages and to cut off access to the forest surrounding the Mount Teide volcano.
The fire, which started on Tuesday night, was raging through a forested area in steep ravines in the northeastern part of Tenerife in the Canaries, making the firefighters' task more difficult.
"Efforts are focused on preventing the fire from spreading and affecting mainly residential areas close to the coast," he added.
