Wildfire in Belgium's Hautes Fagnes draws massive multi-agency emergency response efforts. More than three hundred federal and local police officers were swiftly mobilized Friday.
Two helicopters assisted airborne operations, using specialized buckets to deliver necessary water.
By Sunday evening, over four hundred sorties delivered seven hundred liters each. Drone teams surveyed blazes and region, providing valuable situational awareness from above.
On-ground police organized evacuations, controlled entries, patrolled perimeters, and managed transportation routes. Irrigation vehicles supported firefighters’ water supply, while preventive patrols protected evacuated areas.
