Footage shows thick smoke and ash choking residents during a heat wave fire in Slovenia.

The dense clouds engulfed homes in Kostanjevica na Krasu on Wednesday July 20.

Resident Asha Mat said: 'The fire picked up again and it's worse than ever. Villages are being evacuated, smoke and ash makes the air unbreathable.'

Firefighters have been battling the blaze since Sunday amid a heat wave that has scorched parts of Europe.

Families living in four villages near the wildfire site bordering Italy had been evacuated. No one was reported hurt from the fires.

Officials in Slovenia said the raging blaze in the southwestern Kras region was the biggest since the country became an independent nation in 1991.
