LONDON (AP) — Firefighters were tackling multiple fires in central England on Thursday after the U.K. recorded its hottest day of the year as an intense stretch of hot weather continued to grip Europe. The wildfires across the West Midlands, which saw several houses burned to the ground, have been “one of the most significant” incidents the region’s fire service has ever dealt with, chief fire officer Simon Tuhill said. A child and three firefighters were taken to the hospital following the wildfire in Stourbridge. West Midlands mayor Richard Parker described the “multiple fires across our region” as an “extremely worrying and fast-moving situation."
