European wildfires

Portugal has suffered a series of wildfires, with fierce blazes reported in Algarve resort Quinta do Lago.

Duncan Bannatyne reportedly has a home in the area – and yesterday (July 13) he shared clips on Twitter of the devastation.

Footage showed flames ripping though the exclusive golfing retreat and fire engines on the move to deal with the chaos.

Former Dragons Den star Duncan said he was “evicted” from his home. The 73-year-old later indicated fires were contained after a few hours.

“Was a hell of a day in the Algarve today,” he added in a tweet.

Additionally, the Portuguese government declared a state of heightened alert until Friday.

Furthermore, similar fires have also broken out in on the continent in Spain, France, Turkey and Croatia.
