Spanish firefighters turn to the offensive against deadly Almeria blaze

LOS GALLARDOS: Firefighters in Spain's southeastern Almería province would start to beat back one of the country's deadliest wildfires on Saturday, an emergency services chief said, though more villages had been evacuated as a precaution overnight.

Fanned by winds, the fire spread rapidly on Friday, engulfing victims as they tried to flee. Autopsies have been conducted on all 12 bodies recovered from close to the forested district of Bédar north of Los Gallardos where the fire broke out, though the victims' identities are yet to be confirmed.
