More than 12,000 people have been evacuated from their homes since the fire started Tuesday, and 11,600 hectares of pine forest and scrubland had been burned, authorities said.
Clavijo said police had opened three lines of investigation but did not say if there had been any arrests.
Although the blaze in the northeast of the island is not near the main tourist areas in the southwest, the regional government ordered the evacuation of a state-run hotel in the Teide volcano national park, in central Tenerife, some 50 kilometers southwest of the fire zone. It was not immediately clear how many peope were staying at the hotel.
The emergency services said air quality in 19 town areas was not good and urged people to stay indoors when possible and wear masks outdoors.
