A 'powerful' inferno with 'huge potential' to spread is raging on the Spanish holiday island.
A ferocious inferno has already torn through 300 hectares of land at a national park on the north-east coast within hours of breaking out on Tuesday night.
Around 150 firefighters, 50 military personnel and 10 helicopters are battling the blaze, but officials have warned it could take more than a day to bring it under control. ‘The fire is powerful and is in a complicated area,’ Canary Islands regional president Fernando Clavijo told a news conference in Tenerife.
Access to the forest surrounding Spain’s highest peak of Mount Teide, as well as the volcano itself has also been cut off.
