Spain Review.net is reporting that a firefighter was entrapped on a wildland fire and killed on October 19:
A firefighter lost his life today while working to put out one of the many forest fires still raging in the north of Spain. The dead man was a member of the Castilla y León fire brigade and died after being surrounded by flames in a blaze in Molinaferrera (León).
Sixteen fires are still active in the province of Ourense, two of them razing huge areas – up to 1,800 hectares in Manzaneda and 1,000 in Lobios – as temperatures drop slightly, but still remain high for this time of year.
Our sincere condolences go out to the firefighter’s family and co-workers.
