The fire was under control on Friday morning, but 11 water trucks, a helicopter and two water-dropping planes were still at the scene of the blaze, the service added. Spain’s weather office AEMET said almost all of the country faced a “high”, “very high” or “extreme” risk of wildfires on Friday due to the scorching temperatures.Only a sliver of the northern coast and parts of the eastern region of Valencia on the Mediterranean coast had a “low” or “moderate” risk.
