Firemen cleared flood debris in Spain following the deadly DANA storm.

Local teams, along with Moroccan firefighters and the Forest Firefighter Unit from Betera, worked together to clean up the aftermath of the devastating floods on December 11.

Footage captured in Aldaia, Valencia, shows authorities removing mud and silt from basements, with water dilution efforts used to clear the wreckage.

Torrential rains battered Valencia, Spain, in late October. The ensuing floods resulted in more than 200 deaths, with several still missing, after the intense downpours overwhelmed riverbanks, damaged infrastructure, and forced thousands to evacuate.

The freak weather was said to be caused by a phenomenon locally referred to as 'Depresion Aislada en Niveles Altos' or DANA - an air mass that is colder than its surroundings at higher levels. The temperature difference creates an unstable atmosphere that triggers heavy rainfall in a very short period.
