Over 250,000 flee wildfires in France and Spain

Unrestrained wildfires in France and Spain have forced more than 250,000 people to evacuate, including tens of thousands from Bordeaux, as strong winds drive flames toward the city. Spain declared a national emergency over wildfires for the first time, while France deployed military aircraft and troops. Hundreds of firefighters battled the blazes, fueled by persistent heatwaves and the climate crisis. No deaths were reported, but dozens of French firefighters were injured and smoke prompted health warnings in Madrid.
