Wildfires rage in Southern Europe

(taken from the BBC)
Thousands of fighters are battling to bring under control summer wildfires that are spreading across parts of Southern Europe .
At least eight people have died in different countries, where the wildfires are taking place. For example in: Spain, France, Greece and the Italian Island of Sardinia.
Spain was the most affected, with at least seven big fires in the south and east. But fortunately, some of them are now rated as stable.
During the hot dry weather, strong winds fanned the flames.
Spain’s interior ministry is preventing people from new starting fires in the following intense heat.
Leastways about 1.5OO people have been evacuated. Many people think that it’s like a horror film where everything is burning down. As a consequence of the big fires, Spain has lost six fire fighters in the last four days. Can we do anything to try to stop this kind of disasters? What is your suggestion?
