Wildfires raging through Spain caused by an intense heatwave have led to thousands being evacuated.
On the Spanish mainland a firefighter was killed after being caught in the blaze, the second to die in two days.
Fires on the Canary islands of La Gomera and Tenerife, a favourite of UK holidaymakers, have led to the evacuation of more than 4,000 residents and the cutting off of many roads as precautionary measures, the regional government said.
Residents were being kept out of 18 towns and villages - eight on Tenerife and 10 on La Gomera.
On the mainland, one firefighter died on Monday and another on Sunday in an Alicante city hospital. Two other crew members are being treated in the hospital.
On La Gomera, the most devastating fires in a decade have ravaged 3,000 hectares of land, including about one-tenth of the Garajonay nature reserve, a Unesco World Heritage site.
Regional officials said there was evidence that the fire on the island was started deliberately as it had two focal points two miles apart that began burning within a short time of each other,
Some 3,000 people, including many visitors, grouped in the western port of Puerto de Vueltas on Tenerife, the Canary Islands government said.
Those who wanted to leave had to be ferried off by boat because the road was cut off. A ship took 629 people to the eastern side of the island on Sunday night and another 281 on Monday.
Garajonay natural park contains prehistoric woodland, dating back 11 million years. Its rare subtropical forests have 450 plant species, including eight found only in the park.
Ventura del Carmen Rodriguez, the island's environment secretary, said last week it would take 30-40 years for Garajonay's burned areas to recover.
The islands are 850 miles off the coast of the mainland, so it can take up to a day for firefighting planes to return after being sent back to Spain's south-western tip.
Sean Tipton, a spokesman for the travel association Abta, said: "Abta and our members are closely monitoring a number forest fires in the Canary Islands of Tenerife and La Gomera, the Greek island of Kefalonia and Galicia in northern Spain.
"Resorts have not been affected by the fires, though as a precaution tour operators have suspended some inland excursions on Tenerife."
A hot summer has followed the driest winter for 70 years in Spain, with temperatures reaching 44C in southern areas in recent days.
Regional governments reported 10 wildfires raging across Spain on Sunday.
Last month four people were killed by a wildfire in the northern Catalonia region.
The Foreign Office said it is keeping a close eye on developments.
