Belgium wildfire makes 'limited' spread overnight, more air support on way

Air reinforcements were headed to Belgium Monday to help battle a massive wildfire in a nature reserve, whose "spread remained limited" overnight after threatening to spill into Germany, authorities said.

"Major aerial resources are due to reinforce crews on the ground throughout the day," said the local governor's office, with helicopters from Norway and Germany joining the fleet of aircraft hauling water to hard-to-reach areas.
