500 evacuated, 150 firefighters battle large forest fire in Harz Mountains, Germany.
A large forest fire in the Harz Mountains of central Germany has forced the evacuation of around 500 people since it began on Friday. The fire merged from several smaller blazes and has led to the deployment of approximately 150 firefighters, planes, and helicopters. The area has been closed off, and additional aircraft are expected to assist in controlling the flames. This incident follows previous fires in the region, exacerbated by recent heatwaves linked to climate change.
