France and Spain hold back city fires
France and Spain achieved success in controlling the massive wildfires that threatened the cities of Bordeaux and Madrid, after hundreds of thousands of residents were forced to evacuate their homes due to intense heatwaves that spread the flames. These fires come in the context of a record-breaking heatwave affecting Europe, where human-caused climate change is considered the main reason for the rising temperatures and severe droughts, leading to the spread of fires and air pollution at high levels of harmful fine particles. Spain has declared a state of national emergency as firefighting teams continue working to address the dangers, and control has been restored over the affected areas after weeks of flames.
