Wildfires of Fate: A Devastating Lesson from Spain's Inferno The Spanish wildfires that ravaged the village of Bédar in Almeria province last Thursday evening left 13 people dead and a trail of destruction in their wake.
Amidst the chaos, one story emerged that highlights the unpredictable nature of fate: Malcolm Timbrell, a 70 year old British expat who survived the inferno by chance. Malcolm's tale is both harrowing and humbling.
His wife, Annette Kilgore, 69, and their friends attempted to flee on foot as the flames approached, but it was too late.
