A massive wildfire in Belgium continues to burn out of control, despite cooler weather and rain. The fire, located in the eastern High Fens near the German border, has spread into a pine forest and burned approximately 30 square kilometers of land. The blaze has left a trail of blackened trees and smoldering ground in its wake.

Belgium's King Philippe has visited emergency services fighting the fire, interrupting his summer vacation to do so. Further details on the wildfire and its impact are available from KSAT 12's source. The fire is part of a larger trend of hot and dry summers in Europe, which has been fueled by climate change.
