Episode Details

Belgium’s largest wildfire in a century rages through the fragile High Fens, with firefighters battling boggy peatlands and dense forests that hinder heavy equipment. Rain and cooler temps offer some relief but complicate aerial waterbombing, while smoke blankets cities like Cologne and Wuppertal, forcing residents indoors. The blaze inches toward the German border near Monschau, prompting evacuations and emergency prep. With full extinguishment expected to take weeks, authorities also review compensation for local farmers who rallied to support the firefighting effort.
