ARCHIVED - Two injured and 10 evacuated as fire destroys shrubland in Villajoyosa
Two people were injured and 10 were forced to evacuate their homes as a fire ripped through shrubland in Villajoyosa, Alicante province.
Strong winds made tackling the fire in the Secanet area difficult and firefighters spent most of Tuesday, May 11, extinguishing the flames.
Two men, aged 43 and 64, suffered burns and smoke inhalation and were taken to Marina Baiza Hospital, while neighbouring homes were evacuated as a precautionary measure.
Alicante Emergency Service (CICU) received reports of a blaze at around 12 noon and Provincial Firefighters were dispatched to the scene where they discovered vegetation and palm trees alight.
Weather conditions hampered their efforts and the fire was eventually extinguished at around 7pm.
