Firefighters in France are racing against time to control wildfires before a forecasted heatwave brings temperatures exceeding 40°C. The fires, exacerbated by a phenomenon known as ‘fire clouds,’ have already displaced approximately 300,000 individuals this week. Authorities warn that the ongoing blazes, particularly near Bordeaux, could persist for months, necessitating the mobilization of firefighting resources from across the nation. Meanwhile, Spain has also initiated evacuations in multiple towns as the crisis escalates.
