Watch: Police evacuate residents as wildfires rage in Spain

The Spanish Civil Guard has led evacuation efforts as wildfires burn in the Toledo region.

Dozens of people were told to leave their homes in Méntrida and Calypo Fado, as flames threatened residential areas and engulfed large swathes of forest.

Authorities estimate that 2,500 hectares (25sq km) of land have been affected.

Strong winds also fanned thick plumes of smoke towards the capital Madrid.
