Wildfires Force 250K Evacuations in France | Belfast News

Wildfires are exploding across southwestern France, forcing over 250,000 people to flee as flames creep toward Bordeaux — a wine capital under threat. With winds whipping and heatwaves drying the land, fires now cover 162 square miles — four times the size of Paris. Soldiers and firefighters are battling around the clock, while planes drop water and retardants and key roads are partially shut down. The crisis is spreading to neighboring Spain, where 116,000 have also been evacuated. This is a fast-moving disaster with no signs of slowing.
