A forest fire in the north-east of Tenerife has led to the evacuation of several villages.

Firefighters battled the blaze overnight and this morning water-carrying aircraft were expected to arrive to douse the flames.

The TF-24 highway between Las Lagunetas and El Portillo and the TF-523 at Carretera Los Loros were closed this morning and nearby villages evacuated as a precautionary measure.
