Swiss authorities have temporarily shut the airspace over a small part of southwestern Switzerland because recreational gliders have endangered the work of emergency teams battling a persistent forest fire in the area.
The Federal Office of Civil Aviation said Friday that the restriction in an airspace of up to 8,000 feet , over a wooded mountainside near the town of Bitsch, will last a week.
Office spokesman Christian Schubert, in an email to The Associated Press, said the closure affects about 40-50 square kilometers in an area that is popular with recreational gliders.
