Summary
France is deploying its massive A400M cargo plane to battle a wildfire forcing tens of thousands to flee, including from Bordeaux’s suburbs — part of a catastrophic southern Europe blaze displacing over 250,000 people. With flames generating their own winds and firefighters overwhelmed by record heat, the French government declares this a “long and very difficult” fight, deploying troops and rushing 1.5 million masks. Spain’s blazes spread too fast to contain, while French firefighters are injured and some residents escaped by boat. Strong winds now threaten Bordeaux, triggering mass evacuations. Europe is rallying — Italy, Greece, Portugal, and more are sending planes and helicopters — hoping weather and reinforcements can turn the tide before the fires reach unprecedented levels.
