France | Macron: Landes fire contained, Gironde fire persists
French President Emmanuel Macron confirmed that the forest fire in the Landes region in southwestern France is now under control, while the flames are still raging in the Gironde area, which has consumed 42,000 hectares over six days, forcing 220,000 people to evacuate and destroying 240 homes. He pointed out that climate change conditions are contributing to the escalation of these fires, with a new heatwave expected to bring temperatures up to 40°C in France and 42°C in Spain, increasing danger levels and complicating firefighting efforts. Europe has decided to send additional firefighting aircraft, amid warnings of strain on the fleet due to the increasing demand in several countries.
