Firefighters work to extinguish a blaze in the Julan woods area on the island of Hierro in Spain's Canary Islands August 8, 2003. Europe's searing heatwave continued and was forecast to continue into the weekend, after killing at least 36 people and fanning wildfires accross the continent. Meteorologists blame the heat on high pressure reaching from west of the Iberian Peninsula into central Europe, along with a depression from North Africa stretching into the peninsula.
