Forest fire rages on Spanish island of Ibiza
By The Associated Press | The Canadian Press
MADRID - Firefighters are battling a forest blaze on the popular
Spanish Mediterranean island of Ibiza that has razed hundreds of
hectares of woodland and forced the evacuation of some 80 people.
Regional government Interior Department spokeswoman Asuncion Saez
said the fire was located in the north of the island near the town
of Sant Joan de Labritja.
She said officials had yet to calculate how many hectares of
woodland had been burnt but that it was likely to be between 500
and 1,000 (1,200 to 2,500 acres).
She said the evacuations had been carried out preventively and
that neither lives nor houses were in danger for now.
Defence Minister Carme Chacon was to fly to the island to oversee
the operation.
