A firefighter hoses down a fire near Varese, northern Italy, early Monday, Oct. 30, 2017. Switzerland is sending three helicopters to help Italian fire crews try to extinguish forest fires that have been scorching parts of northern Italy for days and forced the evacuation of hundreds of people.

The smoke has contributed to a huge cloud of smog, visible from space, that has covered the region for days. (Vigili del Fuoco/Italian Firefighters via AP)
