People who had been trying to catch a glimpse of a fire in Spain were forced to flee by sliding down a rocky hill to avoid the approaching flames.

The incident was captured on video and shows several onlookers, reportedly tourists, sliding and running down a hill in Catalonia, Spain.

The three-day raging fires, which have claimed the lives of four people and injured at least 20, started on the weekend, BBC News reports.

A 64-year-old Frenchman died on Monday suffering severe burns, while a 60-year-old Frenchman and his 15-year-old daughter died after falling down cliffs as they were trying to flee the flames.

A 75-year-old man suffered a heart attack during the fires.

Several fires are still raging in Spain’s eastern region with 22,240 acres of land already affected by the flames.
