Hundreds of civilian and military firefighters are battling the blaze that has ravaged 7,500 hectares of land in southwestern Spain and forced the evacuation of more than 500 people.

The largest and most difficult fire, the one in the north of Extremadura, is being fueled by strong winds in the area, according to local authorities, who say it is a case of deliberate arson. Three main roads have been closed, while 10 ground vehicles, six tanker planes and eight helicopters have been put at the disposal of firefighting teams and members of the military emergency unit that are assisting them.

"The problem is not human and material resources," said the regional head of Extremadura, Guillermo Fernández Vara. "The problem is the strong wind that is making it extremely difficult to bring the flames under control," he added.

Fernández Vara said that whoever started the fire knew what they were doing. "Pines are like gasoline bottles here, and their bunches are like flamethrowers," he added.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez was forced to cancel a planned electoral rally in the region ahead of next week's local elections. Sánchez said he was following the situation closely and offered those affected his full support. According to the European Forest Fire Information System, more than 315,000 hectares of land in Spain were scorched by flames last year.
