Germany considers the fire in the west under control, but is watching the one in Belgium with concern.

Authorities in Germany and France have reported that major wildfires affecting their respective regions are now under control. In Germany, a blaze that consumed 300 hectares in the Eifel region of North Rhine-Westphalia—the largest in the state's history—has been contained, though officials remain concerned about ongoing fire activity in neighboring Belgium.

Similarly, in southwestern France, a wildfire that burned 1,700 hectares of forest in the Landes department was declared controlled on Monday. The stabilization of the situation has allowed for the gradual return of evacuated residents to their homes.
