Wildfires devastate Turkey and Greece in 'worst fire crisis in a decade tv news

Emergency services are working hard to deal with destructive fires across Southern Europe which have been fuelled by strong winds and soaring heatwave temperatures.

The blazes have been raging for over a week and parts of Turkey, Greece, Spain and Italy have been affected.

It's the worst fire crisis Turkey has experienced in a decade, as coastal resorts have been hit and tourists have had to be evacuated to safety.

On Monday Turkish authorities said more than 130 blazes had been contained as firefighting efforts continued.
