Spain wildfires: Train is surrounded by flames in Zamora

Francisco Seoane Perez, who filmed the moment the wildfire surrounded the train in apparent apocalyptic scenes, said the train stopped for a few moments before continuing its journey.

Wildfires have burned at least 70,000 acres in Spain this year.

“Climate change kills people, our ecosystem and what is most precious to us,” he said.
