And we now have a fire-fighting unit from Seville come to help. We need them. The “controlled” part of the fire on the east side of the island has apparently revived, and more people have been evacuated from Montes de la Luna.

I think the lava flow in the foreground must be the one they’re hoping to use as a natural fire break.
