At least 422 cars were burned on Wednesday after a wildfire swept across a parking lot at the Andancas festival in Portugal.
Incredibly, there were no casualties, thanks in part to quick work by the officials to evacuate 4,000 people from the open-air music and dance festival, and by the firefighters to put the blaze out within about an hour.
The festival was later resumed. The cause of the fire is reportedly under investigation.
