Germany Wildfire

Firefighters across Europe are battling multiple wildfires as a record-breaking heat wave grips the continent. In France, the driest year on record has led to fires in the Landes region, forcing over 500 people to evacuate. Fires are also burning in Germany, where unexploded WWII munitions complicate efforts, and in Croatia, where 14 people are hospitalized. The UK experienced its hottest day of the year, with wildfires destroying dozens of homes in the West Midlands. Albania and Greece are also facing significant fires, with evacuations underway. The extreme heat is linked to climate change, affecting regions unprepared for such temperatures.
