  • Story Text: Firefighters tackled flames close to a hotel complex in the Albanian coastal town of Shengjin on Tuesday (July 30) as wildfires raged across the Balkans after weeks of scorching weather.
    Fires could be seen raging near residential buildings and roads, as helicopters flew overhead carrying water.
    The region has seen above-average temperatures and dry conditions over the past month that have created ideal conditions for wildfires, scientists say.
