Close to 90 fires are sweeping across Galicia in a desperate situation that has led to the army being drafted in to provide support for the 4,700 people already working to extinguish them. 3 people have died so far, 2 women in a car that became trapped in the flames, and a 74 year old man who was helping to keep the fire away from a village.
Most of these fires are thought to have been deliberately provoked. Who on earth does this kind on thing?
