Mijas Golf is suffering a massive wildfire that is spreading fast. The blaze looks like it may have been sparked by a house fire in the area, although nothing has been confirmed so far. The surrounds are full of dry scrubland after weeks of hot, dry weather and preceded by rains which led to an abundance of growth. INFOCA, the aerial flight-supported fire services, cannot operate in the dark due to the mountainous terrain, so it will be down to ground fire services to attempt to contain the blaze. Strong winds will be fuelling the spread of the inferno, spreading it across the dry grassy hills surrounding the popular golf resort. There is an abundance of land which has been untended for years in the adjacent fields. Fire crews are at the scene: 9 groups of forestal firefighters and 5 fire engines attempting to contain the fire. We will bring you more news as it is released.
