Belgium compensates 110 farmers for firefighting efforts in Hautes Fagnes

The Province of Liège, with Wallonia's support, will pay €750 to each of 110 farmers who voluntarily helped fight a wildfire that burned nearly 3,400 hectares in the Hautes Fagnes this summer. The compensation covers costs incurred during firebreak creation and water transport. This is a post-incident reimbursement, not a new development, and has limited market relevance.
