STORYLINE:
Local residents helped fight a raging wildfire on Wednesday in northwestern Spain as fires intensified across southern Europe.
The community of Ourense took matters into their own hands, working together to put out a smouldering fire with hoses.
Firefighting resources were stretched thin in many affected countries as they battled multiple outbreaks following weeks of heat waves and temperature spikes across the Mediterranean region.
Evacuation centers were filled to capacity in parts of central Spain, with some spending the night outdoors on folding beds. The most severe fires pushed northward into more rural areas, where some residents hosed the walls of their homes to try and protect them from fire.
