MADRID (Reuters) -- About 2,000 forest firefighters demonstrated in Madrid on Saturday to call for improved workers rights in a year when wildfires destroyed tens of thousands of hectares of woodland across Europe.

Protestors used beaters to bang the ground as they demanded a “firefighters statute” to guarantee workplace rights to recognize injuries suffered while doing the job as occupational hazards.
