Spain is deploying 500 more soldiers and European allies are rushing firefighters and equipment to bolster emergency teams struggling to battle blazes that remain out of control around the country.
The reinforcements bring the number of Spanish military personnel aiding local firefighters to about 4,000. Even with the extra support, the searing temperatures are complicating attempts to squelch blazes that have already burned more acres than any fires in Spain in recent years.
Officials consider 23 active fires to be especially serious, with many of the most worrying blazes mainly in the northwest of the country.
The Iberian Peninsula is facing some of the most devastatingwildfires in southern Europe, which is enduring one of its worst fire seasons in recent memory as the region swelters under life-threatening heat.
