A mother gives her son water after they and others were rescued following a brush fire at Peschici, southern Italy, July 24, 2007. Thousands of tourists were trapped on beaches in the Puglia region as a fast-moving bush fire forced people from campsites and hotels to run for their lives. At least two people have died, local authorities said.
