A team of firefighters from Slovenia is helping to quell the flames in North Macedonia, as wildfires continue to rage across the southern Balkan region and the Greek islands.

They have successfully prevented the village of Budinarci from burning down.

They're currently in the process of preventing the fire from reaching a minefield.

The local protection and rescue agency has stated that conditions in the area have now largely come under control.

It comes as neighbouring Greece deals with some of the worst fires ever there as it experiences its hottest heatwave in 30 years.
