Spain wildfires: Man runs out of wildfires with clothes alight after trying to save town

A man narrowly escaped death after a wildfire engulfed him while he desperately attempted to safeguard his Spanish town.

The flames rapidly began closing in on him and engulfed his digger within moments.

Arjona was captured fleeing from the fire with his clothes burned from his body.
