‼️The blaze spread rapidly inside the lower floors, filling the building with thick smoke and forcing prolonged operations that have now exceeded eight continuous hours. Palestinian Civil Defense crews in Gaza Governorate continue to battle an overwhelming and massive fire that erupted in the basement of the seven-story Al-Barqouni residential building on Al-Thawra Street at the Thai Junction. Firefighters are working under extremely difficult and hazardous conditions to prevent the flames from spreading to adjacent structures, while facing severe shortages of firefighting equipment, operational vehicles, and water tankers due to the Israeli occupation blockade. The scale and intensity of the fire have placed enormous strain on already depleted Civil Defense resources, and efforts remain ongoing to fully contain the blaze. mohammed_halabi24 mohammed_halabi242 (IG)

There are warnings of a high risk of wildfires across England and Wales this weekend, due to the hot weather and dry conditions. At Tintwistle Moor in Derbyshire, fire crews are tackling a fire that's been burning since 24 June. Today the fire service urged people not to go walking in the exclusion zone around the area, as this prevents helicopters being used to drop water on the fire.

🇷🇺🇷🇸 Russia's EMERCOM Il-76 begins firefighting operations in Serbia On August 20, a Russia's EMERCOM (Ministry of Emergency Situations) Il-76 aircraft made its first drop (42 tonnes of water) over the Deliblatska Peščara nature reserve in northeastern Serbia, the epicenter of the country's wildfire crisis. The reserve's fire has burned over 3,500 hectares, the largest of roughly 32 fires currently active across Serbia. The Il-76 was dispatched to Niš on President Putin's personal order after Serbia formally requested assistance amid a critical worsening of the fire situation threatening populated areas. Firefighting efforts have been complicated by drought and record-low Danube water levels, limiting the water resources available to ground crews. Despite the scale of the blaze, Serbian firefighters have so far managed to save every home in the reserve threatened by the flames. Bulgaria granted the Russian aircraft overflight rights to reach Serbia.
