Wildfires have hit Mount Vesuvius as deadly blazes sweep through Europe amid a scorching heatwave.
Dramatic footage shows flames engulfing the volcano in Naples, Italy, as firefighters battle to control them.
The blaze broke out on Friday afternoon, and Firefighting teams both on the ground and in the air rushed to the scene.
But, as the sun set, the operation was temporarily suspended for safety reasons.
Raffaele De Luca, president of the Vesuvius National Park, expressed his deep concern about the fire's progress.
