In 2026, France experienced a record-breaking number of wildfires, according to satellite data from the European Forest Fire Information System (EFFIS). Since the beginning of the year, approximately 69,473 hectares have burned, significantly surpassing the area burned in 2022, which was around 66,300 hectares. The wildfires in July 2026 are among the worst on record since data collection began in 2006, with uncontrollable fires continuing in the regions of Gers and Landes. EFFIS also recorded massive fires in February, a time typically used for controlled burning and clearing of vegetation.
