Three injured and 50 people evacuated due to fire in Spain

dnoticias.pt13 September 2026 at 22:24

Three people were injured in a wildfire in Benahavís, in the province of Málaga, in Spain. The fire broke out in a mountainous area and spread rapidly, forcing authorities to order the preventive evacuation of 50 residents from the affected area.

The authorities also ordered the preventive confinement of the urban center of the locality, which has about 9,500 inhabitants. This measure aimed to protect the population while the firefighting operations were underway.

The counselor for the Presidency, Health and Emergencies of the Junta de Andalucía, Antonio Sanz, classified the fire as "complex". This classification is due to the intensity of the wind in the region and the vast forest mass concentrated in the area, factors that significantly hindered the firefighters' work.

Why this matters

Readers in the region are directly affected by this fire that forced evacuations and caused injuries, demonstrating the real risk that forest fires represent for populations in areas with large forest mass. The incident occurs in a context of weather conditions favorable to the spread of flames, which can serve as a warning for the need for vigilance and preparation.
