Terrorism blamed for fires in Spain and Portugal. The easiest form of terrorism and one used by the left here in America.

Driving through the killer inferno: Terrifying moment motorist escapes wildfires blamed on 'terrorist arsonists' that have claimed dozens of lives in Portugal and Spain


  • Authorities in Portugal said that at least 31 people died and dozens were injured by wildfires in the country
  • The government in Portugal declared a state of emergency for regions north of the Tajo river during the fires 
  • In the northwestern Spanish region of Galicia, four people have died and thousands have been evacuated
  • Authorities in both countries said that the strong winds from Hurricane Ophelia have fanned the wildfires
  • Investigators in both countries have questioned if the fires were started by human and criminal causes
  • A man who drove through raging wildfires in Portugal says luck was on his side after he filmed himself escaping the deadly blazes ravaging the region.
    Wildfires have killed at least 35 people across Portugal and Spain as hundreds of blazes were fanned by strong winds caused by a hurricane, authorities said on Monday.
    Thirty-one people - including a one-month-old baby - in Portugal have died and dozens have been injured, most of them firefighters, during fires raging in central and northern areas of the country. 
    Portugal's civil protection service said firefighters are continuing to fight 145 separate blazes, dozens of which are considered to still be serious. 
    In the northwestern Spanish region of Galicia, authorities said that four people had died, two of them trapped in a car, as a result of blazes that were threatening inhabited areas prompting the evacuation of thousands.
    Authorities in both countries said that the strong winds from Hurricane Ophelia in the Atlantic Ocean and high temperatures fanned the fires. 
    Investigations were also focusing on human and criminal causes, with political leaders accusing 'terrorist arsonists' of starting the blazes.
    Survivor Renato Teixeira, from Coimbra, posted a video of his near escape on the A17 motorway near Vagos, Portugal, on his Facebook page alongside the message: 'Today luck was on my side. I was dying.'
