European wildfires unearth live WWI and WWII bombs and mines

Summer wildfires across Europe are exposing buried bombs and mines left over from World War I and II, creating a deadly hazard. The heat can trigger detonations of ordnance that has lain underground for decades. Cleared undergrowth left by fires makes the dangerous objects easier to stumble upon during clean-up operations.
