Many parts of Europe remain on a fire alert. In Aragon, the worst affected Spanish region, the authorities say 500 personnel, supported by water planes and helicopters, are still battling blazes.
A week of flames has destroyed an area the size of one hundred square kilometres. In Spain's southern province of Almeria, the fires are under control but more than 10 villages are without water and electricity.
In central Greece and southern Italy firefighters are working to contain blazes that caused the evacuation of hundreds of people. On the French island of Corsica, another major fire is still burning.
The authorities believe some of the fires were deliberately lit and in Spain, where six firefighters have died, more than 15 people suspected of starting blazes are reported to have been arrested.
Temperatures in southern Europe are expected to remain very high and firefighters are watching for new outbreaks.
