Velký Šenov (Czech Republic) (AFP) – Firefighters in the Czech Republic battle to contain a forest fire in the Bohemian Switzerland National Park, which sits on the country’s northern border with Germany. The blaze comes as record temperatures for the region were broken on Monday. While there are no reported casualties, Czech Environment Minister Anna Hubackova has said the situation is “critical”. The cross-border park is home to rare species such as the Eurasian lynx and the peregrine falcon.
