A Canadair plane drops fire retardant over a mountain fire near Calci, Pisa, Italy, on Tuesday. The raging forest fire on Mount Serra has forced the evacuation of around 700 people, officials say. The governor of Tuscany, Enrico Rossi, said in a press conference Tuesday that 1,483 acres (600 hectares) had been obliterated by the fire which has proven difficult to control due to strong winds which keep changing direction.
