Four Britons feared dead as Spain wildfire kills at least 12

Several Brits are feared to have died in a wildfire in Spain which is thought to have claimed 12 lives so far.

Officials said four people found dead in a burned out car in Los Gallardos are believed to be British. There are also fears that Brits could be among a group of people found dead while trying to escape the flames on foot.

Witnesses say the wildfire was caused by a downed power line, although authorities have not confirmed the cause. Around 150 firefighters have been deployed to tackle the fire in a hamlet called Bedar. It comes as Europe continues to battle a raging 40C heatwave.
