Evacuations in eastern Belgium over large forest fire
One of the largest forest fires in Belgium's history has broken out in the Haut Fagne region near the German border, where the blaze has consumed at least 1,600 hectares of forests and grasslands. Authorities responded by evacuating the villages of Surpruitt and Buedenbach, and reinforcements of firefighters, water-dropping aircraft, and helicopters were deployed to combat the fire, which remains uncontrolled. Belgium's Interior Minister, Bernard Cattan, confirmed that the size of the fire has doubled, and farmers and volunteers are participating in firefighting efforts, amid concerns that the flames may reach residential areas.
