在西班牙阿尔梅里亚省的致命野火中，当局报告称已造成至少 12 人死亡 [1]。此次火灾烧毁的土地面积超过 6,600 公顷（约 16,300 英亩）[1]。遇难者名单中包含 4 名英国公民 [1]。
民防部队从 Bedar 村附近的峡谷中救出了一对严重烧伤的英国夫妇，并将他们送医抢救 [1]。救援人员发现这对夫妇处于半昏迷状态，其身体约 40% 的面积遭受了烧伤，目前正接受重症监护治疗 [1]。法医部门正在通过收集受害者遗体样本并与家属提供的 DNA 进行比对来确认死者身份，但由于跨国收集样本存在困难，相关工作进展受阻 [1]。
此次火灾发生在南欧持续的高温热浪期间，气温一度达到约 40°C[1]。哥白尼气候服务指出，欧洲当前的变暖速度是全球平均水平的两倍，这一气候变化趋势加剧了野火发生的风险 [1]。为应对火势，数百名消防员、军方人员及执法人员以及 30 架飞机参与了灭火行动 [1]。目前，当局表示在控制火势方面已取得进展，约 1,500 名撤离人员中的 600 人已被允许返回家园 [1]。此次事件被认为是西班牙历史上最致命的野火之一 [1]。
In the Almería province of Spain, civil protection forces have successfully extracted a severely injured British couple from a ravine and transferred them to medical facilities for urgent care [1]. The pair was discovered in Bedar village with approximately 40% of their bodies burnt and were found semi-conscious at the scene [1]. They are currently receiving treatment under intensive care following injuries sustained during one of Spain's deadliest wildfires on record, which has scorched over 6,600 hectares (16,300 acres) of land [1]. The blaze has claimed at least 12 lives in total, including four British nationals identified among the victims [1].
While authorities report progress in controlling the fire and have permitted roughly 600 people out of approximately 1,500 evacuees to return home, identifying all deceased individuals remains a significant challenge due to difficulties in collecting DNA samples across borders [1]. The disaster was triggered by a prolonged heatwave with temperatures reaching around 40°C that swept through Southern Europe earlier this week [1]. According to the Copernicus Climate Change Service cited in reports on the event, European warming is occurring at twice the global average rate, thereby exacerbating wildfire risks across the continent [1]. The firefighting effort involved hundreds of firefighters alongside military and law enforcement personnel, supported by 30 aircraft operating from the air [1].
