10:03 pm
seasons wildfires, there are dozens of wild fires burning across the country. most of them are out of control. and this is what that looks like. what it means is that there is no perimeter to the fire and it keeps moving and traveling, and wherever it can find fuel to continue to burn. we're here in a village, just 10 kilometers outside of the moral one of the worst hit parts of the country. and there are no civil services here. there is no government help here. what these people are doing. these are farmers using their farming equipment to try to create fire lines to stop the fire from eating up all of their fields, destroying their agricultural buildings and destroying all of their livestock. we were just further down this road on a pig farm. when the fires suddenly became a large blaze that started to come towards us. and we all just sort of hurried down this road to a safe location, but the fire is still burning. it's still moving quickly and we are in the middle
10:04 pm
of truly apocalyptic scenes. here, there is smoke everywhere, were standing in an area of one wildfire, and across in the distance in that direction. i can spot at least 2 or 3 more plumes of smoke and no doubt the conditions there are as bad as they are here. all around people are just waiting and watching to see what's happening. we've got crowds gathered here at this cross roads with their cars, parts in the direction of what they think will be safety if they have to flee. but most people are here hoping to be able to secure their properties before the flames take over completely, but that is looking more and more unlikely. local residents here say that they think by this time tomorrow, the flames will reach the town of mora. and you mentioned that there wasn't much in the way of kind of a civil defense or, you know, emergency services. what are people being told to do? they told to evacuate or they haven't to make their own decisions. we have seen
10:05 pm
some local police here trying to coordinate some sort of organized effort, but mostly what we're seeing are civilians using their own equipment to try to clear the land to try to clear the debris to try to get rid of the fuel that this fire is using the keep burning. we drove here from the capital madrid yesterday as we drove up, we saw a number of fire bomb, a number of airplanes, water bombing open fields, where fires and numbers were still burning. we saw helicopters dropping water in multiple locations up and down this this entire region. so there is a great deal of work being being done, but it is clear that fire rescue efforts, fire. fire teams are certainly short staffed and certainly stretched thin because this, these wildfires, this was far as using the spread across an incredibly vast area of land. again, we drove several hours from the capital to the northern part of this region where we are now, and there were pockets and wildfires all up and down. busy the region that we were
10:06 pm
driving up, so certainly there, there is work being done, but people are stretched in, in that it is left up to civilians. it is left up to these people to try to save their own property by themselves. if you just look off into the distance, you see these are, this is farming equipment. this is not meant to be fire rescue equipment, but what they're doing is trying to dig up these fields and stop the fire and tracks. it does seem like they're having some success in one of these fields, but everything into the distance, the smoke, beyond which you cannot see, that's, that's farmland and, and farm roads all the way up until the border with portugal. and you can't see any of it because it is all on fire at the moment. so certainly very apocalyptic scenes here. and it doesn't seem like it's going to come to an end anytime soon. the winds are picking up, which is helping the flames to spread further faster and it is more and more difficult day by day to put these fires out, the temperature, the heat wave is meant to be going down for a day, but then the heat is expected to return on wednesday,
