Reforestation company Land Life, which plants trees to offset carbon emissions, accidentally burned 14,000 hectares of forest in Zaragoza in northern Spain. The fire broke out due to a spark from one of the excavators. First, small plants broke out, and then the fire spread to the trees. Due to the fire, five neighboring cities and several nursing homes had to be evacuated. In total, about 2,000 people had to be rescued.
