Fire devastating Northern Spain

Firefighters in north-western Spain are battling more than 100 fires that have already devastated some 10,000 hectares (24,700 acres) of land, officials say.

Some 1,200 soldiers are being deployed in the Galicia region to try to put out the blazes and co-ordinate evacuations.

Three people have died in the fires that have been raging since last week. High winds and dry weather are said to be making conditions worse.
