Polish firefighters and police have joined forces with Czech firefighters to help put out the fires raging through Bohemian Switzerland National Park in the Czech Republic.

Bohemian Switzerland - also called "Czech Switzerland" - is a beautiful region of north-western Czech Republic, close to the German border and not far from Poland.

"On Tuesday evening alone, 120 tons of water were dropped from a Polish police helicopter onto the burning forests," General Brigadier Andrzej Bartkowiak from the Polish State Fire Services told PAP, the Polish Press Agency.
