Wildfires kill two in Greece, scorch Belgian reserve

Two people died on a Greek island near Athens as firefighters battled blazes fueled by hot, dry conditions across southern Europe. In Belgium, a wildfire burned roughly 30 square kilometers of the High Fens nature reserve—more than twice the 14 square kilometers burned there in 2011, the country's previous record wildfire. About 600 nearby residents were ordered to evacuate. The reserve's mix of heathland and peat bogs has complicated efforts to contain the flames.
