Episode Details

Belgium battles its worst wildfire in history, flames still raging in hard-to-reach zones as hundreds of firefighters, international aircraft, and even police drones join the effort—farmers are helping by supplying water. Cooler temps and rain have slowed the spread, but the fire’s edge is creeping toward Germany. This crisis is part of a broader European wildfire surge fueled by record heat and drought tied to climate change, forcing evacuations and devastating wildlife. In Greece, fires near Athens were quickly contained, but a blaze on Salamina claimed two lives and destroyed homes, with arson suspected and an 80-year-old arrested. Across Europe, France pledges €12 million in aid, while Croatia investigates suspected arsonists behind multiple fires near a tourist hotspot.
