A forest fire apparently sparked by a weekend barbecue has killed at least 11 firefighters and continued to burn out of control on Monday in a hilly area east of Madrid, forcing the evacuation of 400 villagers, a regional government spokeswoman told CNN. The blaze has burned more than 8,000 hectares, or 19,700 acres, in Guadalajara province, just east of Madrid, said Environment Minister Cristina Narbona, in an interview with Radio SER, monitored by CNN. Spain's state news agency EFE reported it was the deadliest forest fire, in terms of the death toll, in the past 13 years.
