In little more than an hour, dozens of settlers had fanned out across the hills.

Twenty federal law enforcement teams fanned out across the city Thursday night with more than 1,750 people joining the operation, a White House official told the Associated Press.

Light winds fanned a brush fire in Highland Park on Wednesday afternoon, and one firefighter was injured responding to the blaze in the summer heat.

According to Cypriot police the blaze began in the village of Malia and more than 250 firefighters were deployed to battle the flames, which were fanned by strong winds and soaring temperatures.

High winds and scorching temperatures have fanned the flames.
