For the ninth day, Czech firefighters have been battling a fire in the Bohemian Switzerland National Park on the Czech-German border and have managed to get the outbreak under control. Nearly 1.000 firefighters are on the scene, including dozens of specially trained climbers who are navigating the hard-to-reach terrain, according to a fire department spokesman. Helicopters and planes have been helping to control the fire all day. Helicopters from Germany had to withdraw to neighbouring Saxon Switzerland this afternoon, he added. EPA/MARTIN DIVISEK
