A wildfire that has been raging since Thursday afternoon in Almería, Spain, has killed 11 people, according to figures released by the regional government of Andalusia.
Early investigations suggest that many of the deaths may have resulted from one critical decision: some of the victims appear to have abandoned a designated evacuation route.
Antonio Sanz, regional minister responsible for emergency services, said specialists were looking at two different scenarios to explain the fatalities.
