Italian Firefighters Battle Brush Fires on East Coast

Firefighters deployed aircraft to battle vegetation and brush fires burning outside Brindisi and further south in Castro Marina, both on Italy’s east coast, on June 26.

The fires were sparked amid an ongoing heatwave across Western Europe. Both fires were extinguished on the same day, according to Italy’s national fire service, Vigili del Fuoco. Credit: Vigili del Fuoco via Storyful
