## Resource

France’s wildfires forced nearly 250,000 people from their homes as flames scorched over 40,000 hectares west of Bordeaux—though cooler air is easing the crisis. Across Europe, a deadly heatwave fueled blazes from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean, with Greece losing three firefighters and fires reaching the sea. Australia is lending critical aerial support, including a Chinook helicopter capable of hauling 11,000 liters of water. Meanwhile, the UK braces for its driest July in nearly 200 years, heightening fire risks and straining water supplies.
