French Interior Minister manages major forest blaze
French Interior Minister Laurent Nunez announced that France has managed to control the largest forest fire in the country since 1949. The fire broke out near Bordeaux and burned 42,000 hectares of pine forests, destroying approximately 240 homes. The blaze lasted over a week and occurred amidst heatwaves and drought caused by climate change stemming from human activity. Despite gaining control over the flames, some areas remain burning, and around 220,000 people were evacuated. Most have since returned to their homes. The total area affected by fires this year has now reached 92,000 hectares, the highest in the past twenty years.
