A major wildfire in northeastern Spain is raging out of control for a third straight day.

西班牙東北部一場大火，已經連續(xù)三天失控。

Several hundred firefighters are at the blaze in the Catalonia region Friday as Spain is forecast to endure the peak of a recent heat wave, with temperatures expected to exceed 40 degrees Celsius (104 Fahrenheit).

星期五，數百名消防員在加泰羅尼亞地區(qū)救火。據預測，西班牙近期將經歷一次熱浪的高峰，氣溫預計將超過40攝氏度(104華氏度)。

政府有關人員稱，夜間較低的氣溫使救援人員能夠減緩火勢的蔓延，但有關當局稱，這是該地區(qū)20年來最嚴重的火災，大約有2萬公頃(5萬英畝)的土地面臨火災的危險。

Miquel Buch, the regional interior minister, is asking people to exercise extreme caution in forested areas.
