Fire Kills Four Along the French Spanish Border

A fire along the Spanish French border has now claimed another life, bringing the total to four dead and twenty-three injured.

The blaze started Sunday, but has already engulfed more than 32,000 acres, due to winds reaching up to fifty-five miles an hour.

Nearly five hundred fire fighters and twenty-two aircraft are battling the flames in the Alt Emporda region of Spain.

Flames on the French side have been completely contained.

Officials have ordered residents in seventeen towns, on both sides of the border, to keep their windows closed and avoid going outside, due to the smoke.

Fire fighting efforts are being made jointly, by the two countries.
