Belgium is currently battling its largest wildfire on record, which has scorched over 2,000 hectares in the High Fens nature reserve, forcing the evacuation of multiple villages.
The European Union has deployed specialized firefighting aircraft to assist local crews in containing the blaze, which has been exacerbated by extreme weather conditions in the region.
Authorities are monitoring the situation closely as the fire continues to threaten biodiversity and local infrastructure, marking a significant environmental crisis for the country this summer.
