Over 1,600 residents were evacuated from the eastern Spanish provinces of Castellon and Terul due to wildfires that have spread across 2,470 acres of land, Spanish media reported on Friday.

The authorities ordered the evacuation of residents from nine towns in Castellon in the northern region of the Valencian Community, along with two other towns in the neighboring province of Teruel, as a Spanish newspaper reported. 

Ximo Puig, the president of the Valencian government, said 400 firefighters were working hard all night long to prevent the spread of the fire.

The President stressed that 18 aircraft would join the rescuers in the morning if the weather permits, as cited in the report.

The report mentioned that the Valencian authorities appealed to a special military unit for emergency aid. The military unit mobilized 74 military personnel, 19 cars, and 12 fire trucks to stop the fire.

As for the cause of the wildfires, Salvador Almenar, the region's interior ministry chief, attributed it to the absence of rain for two months.
