People in many areas of the Czech Republic have been advised by the fire brigade to keep their windows closed as they fight a big forest fire. Parts of the Bohemian Switzerland national park, which sits on the German border, have been burning since Sunday. Homes have been destroyed and the smell of smoke has reached the capital Prague 100km to the south.
