Wildfire Scorches 12,000 Hectares in Central Spain's Guadalajara Province A wildfire in central Spain is still raging, having consumed over 12,000 hectares of land and forced hundreds to flee their homes.
The blaze in Guadalajara province is the latest in a series of devastating fires that have scorched the country's countryside.
