Firefighters made gains in their battle against a vast wildfire on Tenerife today after better-than-expected overnight weather helped them keep the blaze from destroying homes on the Spanish holiday island. The huge fire broke out late on August 15, 2023 in a mountainous northeastern area, quickly morphing into the Canary Islands' biggest-ever. So far the blaze, which has a perimeter of 84 kilometres (52 miles), has burned through 11,600 hectares (28,700 acres), or just over 6% of Tenerife island, forcing more than 12,000 people to flee their homes.
