A deadly wildfire in southern Spain has killed at least 12 people, including four Britons, officials said. The fire spread quickly near Bedar in Almería after strong winds and extreme heat. Another 23 people are still missing. Hundreds of firefighters are working to control the remaining flames. The fire has burned about 6,600 hectares of land. Authorities fear the death toll could rise as rescue teams continue searching. Officials believe a fallen power line may have started the fire, but power companies denied this. Spain has faced several wildfires this summer due to high temperatures and dry weather. (PC: Reuters, Getty Images)
