The fire started in a wooded area in the north and was the first major natural disaster for the island since 2021, when it was hit by a volcanic eruption. Drought, forty-degree heat and strong wind contributed to the rapid spread of fire. On the island, which is part of the Spanish Canary Islands, the fire has destroyed at least 14 residential buildings and is creeping towards other communities. According to the latest Spanish media reports, 4,800 hectares (11,861 acres) of territory have already been affected. About 2,000 local residents had to be evacuated.
