Three men have died and thousands of people have been forced to flee as wildfires fuelled by an intensive heatwave sweep through various parts of Europe.
An employee of a Spanish equestrian centre who suffered serious burns died in hospital as winds of up to 70 kilometres (43 miles) per hour whipped flames through Tres Cantos, a wealthy suburb north of Madrid, officials said on Tuesday. The man was the first death from dozens of wildfires that have hit Spain since a heatwave began last week.
