Wildfire prompts evacuations in southern France
A large forest fire broke out last night in the south of France, leading to the evacuation of dozens of residents in the regions of Évreux and Oloron. The fire spread across approximately 800 hectares of land. Strong winds and drought conditions intensified, with temperatures reaching around 30 degrees Celsius, which facilitated the rapid spread of the flames. Firefighting teams attempted to control the blazes that worsened due to the weather conditions, utilizing firefighting aircraft in the rugged areas. Additionally, two smaller fires were recorded in Ronniac and Lanson Provence. These incidents occurred amid a heatwave that caused extensive fires across Europe last year.
