Firefighters on Monday battled to stabilize a huge wildfire that has devastated forests on the Spanish island of Tenerife for six days and forced thousands to evacuate their homes. The fire that started last Tuesday night has so far ravaged some 12,800 hectares of woodland within the national park surrounding the Teide volcano, Spain's highest peak. Efforts to extinguish it have been hampered by the difficult terrain - made up of steep ravines and cliffs - and a recent heatwave leaving the pine forest bone dry.
