Jul 25 - Algeciras Fire Continues This Morning

A vast plume of smoke shows the extent of the fire that started last night in the Arroyo de la Miel area of Algeciras.

This photo, taken at 9.30am, shows that despite the efforts of helicopters, planes and firefighters on the ground, the forest fire continues to spread. Sources say that the emergency services have been unable to access the area fully because of its steep hills and rugged terrain. Although the authorities have yet to determine the cause of the blaze, it is widely believed to have been started intentionally.
