Already, three blazes have erupted in the area, sparking fears of a catastrophic summer. With temperatures set to soar from Wednesday, authorities are on high alert, warning of extreme fire risk and urging residents to take precautions to protect themselves and their property. The situation is further complicated by Spain's ongoing drought, which has left the country's forests tinder-dry and vulnerable to ignition.
