Spanish authorities say two people have died in northeastern Spain in a wildfire that spread quickly before firefighters brought it under control.

Europe's continuing heat wave on Wednesday helped fuel a deadly wildfire in Spain while the European Union presented plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions under scorching temperatures.

As Europe endures a record-breaking heat wave this week, heat-related deaths have risen to nearly 80 with new data from Portugal. Previously, 10 deaths had been reported across Europe — including four in Spain, two in France, and four in Italy.
