ALGIERS: Algerian firefighters on Friday were battling wildfire hotspots near Tipaza, west of the capital Algiers, for a second day after fast-moving flames forced the evacuation of around 50 families, authorities said. Unseasonably high temperatures and wind gusts topping 60 kilometers per hour pushed the fires to spread quickly overnight Thursday, local reports said. “Some hotspots have been brought under control, while extinguishing other embers continues,” the civil protection said in a statement at 14:39 local time (1339 GMT).
