A massive wildfire in Belgium's High Fens nature reserve has spread to over 3000 hectares, forcing evacuations in nearby Belgian and German villages. The fire, which started on Friday, is the largest in Belgium's recent history and has required international assistance, including firefighters and aircraft from Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, and the Czech Republic. Residents of Monschau, a German town near the border, have been advised to prepare for evacuation due to the approaching fire front.
