France teen held over deadly forest fire
French authorities have arrested a 15-year-old teenager suspected of causing a forest fire that resulted in the deaths of two firefighters near Bordeaux Airport on July 21, during his attempt to fight the fires. The incident sparked anger among firefighters' unions, which highlighted the lack of resources to handle the increasing number of fires. Union representatives met with the Interior Minister, but they deemed the promises made to be insufficient and have threatened protest actions in September. Firefighting efforts continue as a heatwave persists across large parts of France.
