People in many areas of The Czech Republic have been advised by The Fire Brigade to keep their windows closed as they fight a big forest fire.

Parts of The Bohemian Switzerland National Park , which sits on The German border, have been burning since Sunday.

Hundreds of Czech firefighters were deployed as The Fire destroyed areas of forest and homes in The Village of Mezna. The Fire was also threatening The nearby village of Hrensko, close to The German border, and dozens of people were forced to flee their homes.

Three German teams who had been helping later left for The German side of The Border as The Blaze later started to spread. Tourists were urged to avoid The area as The Alarm was raised around Bad Schandau in The Saxon Switzerland National Park .

The Fire service was inundated with calls about The Drift of smoke and appealed to Czechs not to contact them unless they saw flames. Human carelessness has been blamed for The Fire , The Bbc 's Rob Cameron in Prague reports.
