France enforces large Bordeaux fire containment
France confirmed that it has managed to contain the massive forest fire on the outskirts of Bordeaux in the southwest of the country, although it is not yet fully under control. The country is also anticipating a new heatwave, with temperatures possibly reaching 40°C, which increases the risk of new fires breaking out. Over 2,750 rescue personnel participated in the firefighting efforts, and unprecedented evacuation operations saved approximately 220,000 people from the Arcachon area in Gironde. A total of 240 homes were damaged. The ongoing drought and climate change have contributed to the increased likelihood of forest fires in the region.
