A record-breaking wildfire in eastern Belgium had scorched about 2,700 hectares by Saturday evening, forcing around 600 residents to evacuate, according to local authorities and media reports. Reinforcements were brought in from across the country to fight the blaze that broke out in the High Fens nature reserve near the German border and quickly spread, with helicopters and water bombers flying in from across the EU to help. #belgium #wildfire #fire #naturereserve #europe šŗ Subscribe to our YouTube channel and stay updated with our latest analysis and interviews:š https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgrNz-aDmcr2uuto8_DL2jg š Download our APP on Apple Store (iOS): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cctvnews-app/id922456579?l=zh&ls=1&mt=8 Download our APP on Google Play (Android): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.imib.cctv For more: https://news.cgtn.com/news/2026-08-16/Firefighters-battle-record-wildfire-in-Belgian-nature-reserve-1PExRSS4NSE/p.html Most watched vid
