Bordeaux Pub Full as Wildfire Rages | Belfast News

France’s worst wildfire in decades rages near Bordeaux, burning 40,000 hectares and forcing over 200,000 evacuations — yet locals remain calm, even as pubs like The Connemara stay packed with Mayo fans for the All-Ireland final. Frank Jackson, the pub’s 40-year owner, notes locals aren’t panicking — it’s foreigners who seem rattled, with one staffer leaving to reunite with family fearing the city’s lost. Now, the battle is logistical: construction crews and wine tankers are hauling water and building firebreaks, a united front that contrasts post-pandemic self-interest. With temperatures soaring and wind shifts looming, the danger isn’t over — but hope remains as firefighters push forward.
