Nearly 500 Detained for Summer Fires in France
Nearly 500 people, including 183 minors, have been arrested in France on suspicion of starting wildfires since July, with about 70% believed to be deliberate. Firefighters are responding to ongoing blazes across Europe amid a record-breaking heatwave, with recent wildfires burning large areas of forest in France, Germany, Croatia, Spain, Greece, and the UK. Authorities continue evacuation efforts, and climate change is cited as a contributing factor to the increasing frequency and intensity of such wildfires.
