Extensive forest fires continue in several parts of Europe.
In Finland, firefighters are fighting the largest forest fire in at least half a century, which has destroyed an area of about 300 hectares in a few days.
The fire broke out this week south of the small port town of Gulf of Bothnia in Kalajoki. It may take at least a week to completely erase it.
