Spain is battling several major wildfires. Around 10,000 people remain under orders to leave Castellon, where the blaze is burning out of control.
Emergency crews have focused on protecting homes and moving residents to safety, as fast-moving flames make it too dangerous to attack the fire directly.
Authorities say the intensity of Spain's largest recorded wildfire has forced crews to adapt their tactics, prioritising evacuations and property protection while aircraft continue to support operations from the air.
