Belgian authorities are now investigating whether the extensive wildfires in the east of the country may have been linked to agricultural activity. Firefighters continue battling remaining hotspots from the blaze, which has reached historic proportions. This marks the first time officials have publicly suggested a potential cause for the disaster. The fires have devastated the Hohes Venn nature reserve, a significant ecological area. The investigation will focus on determining if agricultural practices inadvertently contributed to the ignition or spread of the flames. The scale of the damage is substantial, and containment efforts are ongoing. Further details regarding the suspected link to agriculture are expected as the investigation progresses.
