Monschau: 17 Houses Evacuated Due to Forest Fire in High Fens
Aid from Several European Countries
The fire has reached unprecedented proportions, according to Quintin. Belgium is therefore receiving support from several European countries. In addition to two water-bombing helicopters with large water tanks from the Netherlands, two firefighting aircraft from Sweden were in operation on Sunday afternoon, the Interior Minister wrote on the platform X. Firefighters from Germany and Luxembourg are already on-site, according to local authorities.
The Belgian armed forces are also assisting: they provided six fire trucks and a water tender, as announced by Defense Minister Theo Francken. The firefighting efforts are being hampered by the difficult terrain of the High Fens. There are only a few access routes, and the extensive peat bogs make combating the fire challenging.
