GENEVA — Police say almost 300 firefighters and the army are battling strong headwinds and dry conditions to extinguish a huge forest fire in southern Switzerland.
Firefighters aided by helicopters struggled to contain the blaze Tuesday night after it broke out at an auto-repair shop on the outskirts of Visp and quickly advanced on forestland in the Swiss canton of Valais. The cause of the fire remains unknown.
