Southwest France wildfire consumes 1,100 hectares
Wide wildfires in southwestern France have burned approximately 1,100 hectares of pine forests, with the ongoing risk of new fires due to the return of a heatwave that could reach temperatures of up to 36°C. A total of 525 people were evacuated, and authorities managed to contain the fire thanks to lowered temperatures and high humidity, despite fires spreading in other areas, including a major blaze in the Gironde region which led to the evacuation of 220,000 people and was brought under control after ten days. Reports indicate that the areas affected by fires in 2026 have exceeded their record levels over the past two decades, reaching around 100,000 hectares so far.
