Authorities said 10-water dropping planes and 22 helicopters were deployed to try and extinguish the blaze. Over a dozen homes and a hospital have been evacuated as a precaution. Wildfires have torn through neighbouring countries, including Greece, for nearly seven days as southern Europe battles with an extreme heatwave, bringing temperatures of well over 40 degrees.
