A local official said four of the victims may be British after a fire broke out near Los Gallardos, Almería. At least 12 people have died and 23 others are missing in a wildfire in southern Spain, Andalusia's regional leader Juanma Moreno has said. Hundreds of people are trying to contain the fire, which Moreno said appeared to have been caused by a downed power line. Antonio Sanz, Andalusia's health and emergencies minister, said the fire had been complex and rapid and the majority or even all of the victims may have been foreign nationals. Four people were found trapped in their car, said Sanz, while eight other victims were found elsewhere, apparently trying to escape the flames. He said the four in the car were believed to be "of British origin" and that the car had a steering wheel on the right. Belgian Foreign Minister Maxime Prévot said many Belgians had second homes in Spain and consular services were trying to contact "Belgians with whom they have not been able to get in touch".
