Tourists Flee Wall of Flames in France Wildfires

Families from the UK and elsewhere described their holiday turns into evacuation missions as huge forest fires in southwest France and central Spain have displaced over 220,000 people. Tourists reported emergency alerts in the night, driving near six-storey-high flames, and beaches crowded with evacuees. The French military is assisting, and Spain declared a national emergency. Flights to Bordeaux and Madrid remain unaffected, but French officials urged tourists not to cancel plans despite the tragedy.
