A large forest fire originating in the Hautes Fagnes natural park in the Belgian province of Lieja has consumed over 2,700 hectares since Friday. The blaze has prompted the evacuation of residents in nearby areas, including those in the German border town of Monschau, where authorities recommended that citizens leave their homes on Sunday due to the proximity of the fire.
Simultaneously, emergency services in the French department of Les Landes are managing a separate wildfire that began last Thursday. While the fire in France has burned 1,700 hectares and remains uncontrolled, officials report that weather conditions have become more favorable for containment efforts as of Sunday.
