Europe is facing an extremely hot summer, fueling wildfires from the Atlantic coast to the eastern Mediterranean. On Friday, firefighters were working to control the last hot spots of the massive wildfire that has burned an area four times the size of Paris and forced thousands out of their homes. In England, where half the country has been baking under drought conditions, firefighters battled a wildfire near a nuclear power station for a third day. More than 100 firefighters have been deployed to battle the blaze, which has now burned about 150 hectares (370 acres), in Dunwich Heath. The blaze was being fanned by gale force winds that were hampering water-dropping aircraft from flying over the area.
