Hazy smoke was drifting over villages in rural east Spain on April 15, as a fire burned some 2,470 acres, local media said.

The fire broke out the day before in the municipality of Tarbena, in the community of Valencia. About 180 people had to be evacuated and roads were closed.

Footage here was shot in nearby Parcent.

Valencia’s emergency services reported a “complicated” night for firefighters as temperatures didn’t drop as much as expected. Credit: @samuelongui via Storyful
