A 78-year-old Jordanian man tragically lost his life in Spain due to burns sustained while attempting to safeguard his residence from a wildfire in the southern Andalusia region. The incident occurred near the Rosario church in Benahavís last week. At the time of the fire, the man was accompanied by his wife and a domestic worker.
Upon ensuring his wife's safe evacuation, the elderly man stayed behind, bravely trying to protect his property as the flames drew nearer, sustaining severe burns in the process. Despite receiving medical attention for his injuries, he regrettably succumbed to his condition. Firefighters fought the inferno for nine days before authorities confirmed its complete suppression.
