Episode Details

Belgium’s worst wildfire in history is finally easing thanks to rain, but the blaze—now scorched over 3,000 hectares in the High Fens and threatening Germany—is far from over. Firefighters, farmers, and soldiers battled tirelessly, yet peat bogs mean underground smoldering could reignite. This isn’t an isolated crisis: across Europe, more than half a million hectares have burned this year, fueled by record heat and dry vegetation. Greece saw deadly evacuations, Spain grapples with a 40,000-hectare inferno, and fires rage in Croatia and Portugal. As climate change turns summer into a tinderbox, these blazes are no longer distant threats—they’re here, now, reshaping Europe’s landscape and lives.
