SOURBRODT, Belgium (AP) — One of Belgium’s biggest ever wildfires blazed out of control Monday even as cooler weather and rain in the morning eased conditions for hundreds of firefighters in remote and hilly countryside. In Greece, a fire briefly flared up near the main airport on the outskirts of Athens.
A forest ranger said the fire in Belgium could continue for months underground in peaty soil and sporadically flare up.
