France restores control after forest fire
French authorities announced that they have gained control over a wildfire that engulfed approximately 1,700 hectares in the Landes region in the southwest of the country. There have been no casualties or material damages reported. The residents who had been evacuated are beginning to return home. About 250 residents of the town of Luguesonne, from where the fire originated, have been able to return after conditions improved. Although the fire is now under control, this does not mean it has been completely extinguished, and approximately 350 firefighters continue firefighting efforts. The Landes fire is the third major wildfire of this summer. Since the beginning of the year, France has recorded around 100,000 hectares burned, a record over the past 20 years according to the "EVisit" fire monitoring system.
