With at least 12 lives lost and residents forced from their homes, emergency crews are still fighting to contain the blaze as a devastating wildfire continues to ravage the southern Spanish province of Almeria. 

The wildfire broke out on Thursday and has since left at least 12 people dead, 23 others missing, and 1,400 local residents evacuated from their homes. So far, more than 7,000 hectares of land have been scorched -- roughly the size of 13,000 football pitches. 

According to local authorities, the fire was sparked by a collapsed power line, which rapidly spread through dry vegetation during the region's recent record-breaking heatwaves. 

"This is a disaster the like of which has never happened before. We've had fires before, but nothing like this," said a local resident. 

The flames advanced so quickly that residents had only minutes to flee, grabbing what they could and leaving much behind. Many are now waiting anxiously, hoping their homes have been spared. 

"We still don't know, that's why we are waiting here and crossing fingers that it will be untouched. But let's see. Let's see," said a resident who was waiting in car with his family. 

A total of 32 helicopters and firefighting aircraft have been working around the clock trying to tame the flames. 

Felix Bolanos, Spain's Minister for the Presidency, Justice and Parliamentary Relations, who is leading the coordination effort, said that Sunday could bring a turning point, with authorities confident of gaining control over the fire by then. 

"It's difficult for us to control the fire, but we are working with the idea to (have the fire under control) tomorrow," he said, speaking to a reporter on Saturday. 

The bodies of the 12 confirmed victims have been transported to a specialist forensic center in Madrid for identification.

El incendio forestal que continúa asolando la provincia de Almería, en el sur de España, ha dejado 12 muertos y ha obligado a evacuar a más de un millar de residentes de sus hogares. 

El flagelo que inició el jueves ha dejado 23 personas desaparecidas y 1.400 residentes evacuados. Hasta el momento, las llamas han consumido más de 7.000 hectáreas de terreno, una superficie equivalente a unos 13.000 campos de fútbol. 

Según las autoridades locales, el incendio se produjo tras la caída de un cable del tendido eléctrico sobre la vegetación seca, lo que habría originado las llamas y debido a lo seco de la vegetación se extendieron rápidamente. 

"Esto es un desastre que no ha pasado nunca. Ha habido incendios pero no como este", comentó un residente local. 

Las llamas avanzaron con tal rapidez que los residentes apenas tuvieron unos pocos minutos para huir, rescatando lo que podían y dejando atrás la mayor parte de sus pertenencias. Muchos tienen la esperanza de que sus hogares se hayan salvado. 

"Todavía no lo sabemos, por eso estamos aquí esperando y cruzando los dedos para que no se vea afectado. Ya veremos", contó un residente que esperaba en su coche junto a su familia. 

Un total de 32 helicópteros y aviones de extinción de incendios han estado trabajando sin descanso para intentar apagar las llamas. 

Félix Bolaños, ministro de la Presidencia, Justicia y Relaciones con las Cortes del Gobierno de España, quien lidera la coordinación de las labores, afirmó que el domingo podría ser un punto de inflexión, y las autoridades confían en tener el incendio bajo control para entonces. 

"Nos resulta difícil controlar el fuego, pero estamos trabajando para controlarlo mañana mismo", declaró el ministro. 

Los cuerpos de las 12 víctimas mortales confirmadas han sido trasladados a un centro forense especializado en Madrid para su identificación.
