Spain reported a second fatality in two days as it continues to battle wildfires. The body of a 69-year-old sheep farmer was found on Monday in the same area where a 62-year-old firefighter died a day earlier. More than 30 forest fires around Spain have forced the evacuation of thousands of people and blackened 85 square miles of forest and scrub.
