Brief text
At least 12 people died and 23 were missing after a wildfire in Almeria, Andalusia; several victims were found in burnt-out vehicles after trying to flee.
- Frame 1Almeria wildfire puts public evacuation safety in focus: 12 dead, 23 missing, victims found in fleeing vehicles.
- Frame 2The reported danger point was the road: several victims were found inside burnt-out vehicles while fleeing.
- Frame 3Andalusia's tourist geography matters because many victims were foreign tourists, Spanish authorities said.
- Frame 4The count still has two layers: confirmed deaths and people still missing after the blaze.
- Frame 5The practical tradeoff is visible: leaving late can put evacuees in traffic beside the fire.
- Frame 6Watch the missing-person count and the route timeline; those show how the escape chain failed.
