Belgium's biggest wildfire on record heads towards Germany

Belgium's biggest recorded wildfire is burning in the High Fens — about 3,000 hectares so far — moving toward the German border; evacuations and heavy smoke are affecting border communities though no homes have been lost yet.
A large cross-border response is under way: firefighters from Belgium, Germany and Luxembourg, the army, local farmers and EU-deployed helicopters and water-bombers are battling the blaze.
The fire broke out amid a summer heatwave; authorities hope cooler, more humid weather will help, and scientists say climate change is increasing wildfire risk.
