MADRID, June 28 -- The forest fire, which started on the night of June 24 and still smoldering in Spain's southwestern region of Huelva, burned a total of 8,486 hectares, the Andalusian Regional Government said on Wednesday.
Environmental spokesman for Andalusia, Jose Fiscal, confirmed the damage on his Twitter account.
Over 2,000 people had had to be evacuated from hotels and campsites on the perimeter of the fire, he said.
He added that the perimeter established around the fire was actually 10,900 hectares, but within that perimeter, 2,414 hectares of woodland were still intact.
The fire damaged two protected areas: 6,761 hectares of Donana National Park, which has UNESCO protected status and is home to around 400 different species such as the threatened Iberian Lynx and Iberian Eagle, and 17 hectares of Laguna de Palos y Madres Nature Park.
The Andalusian government believed that had it not been for the work of fire fighters, who at the height of the blaze numbered around 500, the damage would have been far worse for the 43,225 hectares of woods and scrubland.
According to the regional government, temperatures were around 40 degrees Celsius when the fire began, with a wind-speed of between 30 and 40 km per hour (km/h) and gusts of up to 90 km/h at night, which helped propagate the flames and made it impossible to use aircraft or helicopters to fight the fire.
A total of 50 firemen remain in the zone to continue the work of damping down and to ensure there are no flare ups, while investigations continue into the cause of the blaze. Authorities have not ruled out a human cause.
