Default Fires...Montes Malaga?

Does anyone know how bad these fires today over Malaga way were?

The planes and helicopters were coming over our house to get water from the lakes to drop in the fires, by the amount of planes we saw it looks like it could have been very bad.
I missed it on the Spanish news and just wondered if anyone has more information.

Thanks for the link, with fifteen aircraft involved it's no wonder so many were coming over here after filling with water from our lakes.
I'm just glad it didn't do too much damage, I'm all too aware how bad things can quickly become.

I FB'd a near neighbour; she and my OH had both seen either smoke or fire engines but it was the 'other side' of the hills!
Not good for those affected, though.
