FIREFIGHTERS tamed a blaze yesterday that had threatened villages north of the beach resort of Marbella in Spain's southern Costa del Sol, allowing about 4000 people who had been evacuated to return to their homes and hotels.
Emergency officials said one man was killed by the fire, but his age and nationality could not be confirmed. He had originally been identified as a British citizen.
Two Britons were treated in hospital Friday for minor injuries – thought to be smoke inhalation – but they did not stay overnight.
